Working as a Urologist and Kidney Transplant Surgeon
Doctor information
Experience:
Education:
Dayanand Medical College and Hospital
Academic degree:
MCh (Master of Surgery)
Area of specialization:
I am mainly focused on urology and sexual medicine—that’s where most of my clinical energy goes. In urology, I deal with all kinds of urinary tract issues—stones, prostate enlargement, bladder problems, infections, obstructions—some acute, some just ignored for years. I’ve seen how something that seems “small” like burning urine or weak stream can actually be a sign of something deeper. That’s why I dig in a bit more before jumping to conclusions. Sexual health is a whole different layer. I work with patients (mostly men but not only) who are facing things like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low libido, or infertility stuff. The hard part is, most ppl wait way too long before seeking help, either cause they’re shy or think nothing can be done. I get that. Which is why I try to keep my approach open, no judgment—just straight talk and actual solutions based on clinical findings not guesswork. Sometimes it’s a hormone imbalance, sometimes mental stress, sometimes both—it’s rarely just one thing. My job is to find that thread and work with it. Not everyone responds the same, and yeah not every plan works first time... but we adjust. That’s part of real practice.
Achievements:
I am currently working as a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon at Graphic Era Medical College & Hospital, Dehradun. That in itself feels like one of my core achievements—not just a job title, but something that pushes me everyday. I get to manage complex renal cases, lead transplant procedures, and actually be part of outcomes that change someone's life. It’s not always smooth—some days get real heavy—but the work feels real, and that matters more than anything fancy-sounding.

I am currently working as a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon at Graphic Era Medical College & Hospital, Dehradun. It's a role that keeps me on my toes, honestly. I handle a pretty wide range of urology cases—stones, prostate issues, urinary tract obstructions, infections, you name it. Some are straightforward, others way more complex than you expect at first glance. Every patient walks in with a different story and that’s what keeps the work real for me. Kidney transplant surgery, though, that’s a whole different zone. You’re not just working on anatomy—you’re dealing with timelines, matching, medications, family dynamics, emotional pressure... and yeah, very precise coordination. I’m part of a team that manages the entire transplant process—from evaluation to surgery to post-op care. Not gonna lie, it’s intense. But seeing someone who’s been on dialysis for years finally get a new shot at life—there’s nothing really like that feeling. In the OR, I’m detail-focused. Outside of it, I try to stay accessible—patients don’t always need answers right away, sometimes they just need to feel heard. I believe in walking them through what’s going on rather than just giving reports and instructions. Especially in transplant cases, trust matters. And clear, honest conversation helps build that. Urology itself is such a misunderstood field sometimes. People ignore symptoms for years because it feels “awkward” or they think it’s not serious until it becomes unmanageable. I’ve had patients who came in late just because they were embarassed to talk about urine flow or testicular pain. That’s why I also try to make the space judgment-free—like whatever it is, we’ll figure it out. At the end of the day, whether I’m scrubbing in for surgery or doing OPD rounds, I just want to make sure what I do *actually* helps. That the effort’s not wasted. And yeah, some days are frustrating—some procedures don’t go clean, some recoveries take longer than they should—but I keep showing up, cause the work’s worth doing. Always is.
