Our Verified Medical Experts — page 37

I am a doctor who really values both the science and the human side of medicine. My work is rooted in patient care—diagnosis, treatment planning, follow ups—and honestly I try to approach each case with a mix of detail and empathy. Outpatient cases are usually where you see long-term progress, inpatient ones more complex, more urgent, but both demand the same attention. Sometimes you’re balancing medical facts with what the patient actually feels or fears... and that balance is tricky but important. I’m used to managing emergencies too—stabilizing, examining, prescribing, assisting in procedures when needed. Not every case is straightforward, and sometimes you gotta make decisions fast even when all the data isn’t in front of you. Those moments remind me why clinical judgement matters. Evidence-based practice is my anchor, but you also learn that guidelines can’t cover every real-world detail. Communication plays a huge role in all this. Whether it’s explaining medications to a patient’s family or working with colleagues in a team setting, clarity matters. I try not to hide behind jargon—it doesn’t help anyone. And counseling isn’t just about giving info, sometimes it’s about just listening properly before you say anything at all. I’m committed to continuous learning—medicine never stays still. New protocols, new drugs, updated research, you gotta keep pace if you wanna serve patients well. For me, growth isn’t just a checkbox—it’s part of being safe and responsible as a clinician. At the end of the day, I want my patients to feel they were heard, treated with respect, and cared for with precision. That’s the standard I keep myself to, even if the day is long, or cases get complicated. Mistakes happen in thought, sometimes I worry about overthinking, but that also keeps me careful. Quality care is what I aim for, and every single patient encounter is a chance to do that a little better.

I am a doctor who started my journey at Stanley Medical College, Chennai—a place that really shaped the base of my clinical training. Those early yrs in govt setup taught me the value of discipline, patience, and dealing with high patient load day after day. After that I moved to AIIMS, New Delhi, where I completed my senior residency. AIIMS was intense, no sugar coating. The exposure there pushed me to think sharper, manage complex cases, and honestly learn how to stay steady when things go wrong at 3am in the ward. Later I pursued urology training at IMS, BHU, Varanasi. That step was kinda natural for me, cause I always leaned towards surgical branches and the fine balance of precision + long-term patient outcomes in urology just clicked. The training covered everything—endoscopic work, stone disease management, prostate issues, reconstructive urology, uro-oncology basics. It was hands-on, rigorous, sometimes overwhelming but definitely worth it. My approach now is rooted in all of that—broad clinical exposure, strong residency foundation, and specialized focus in urology. I see patient care as more than just performing procedures. It’s about explaining options clearly, respecting their worries, and making treatment paths that balance science with individual needs. Working across different institutions also taught me the value of teamwork. Nurses, juniors, seniors, support staff—everyone plays a role in outcomes. Communication matters just as much as technical skills. I still think of myself as a learner. Medicine never really stops changing and urology keeps throwing up new challenges—whether it’s minimally invasive procedures, advances in imaging, or changing patterns of disease. What keeps me going is knowing that each patient interaction is a chance to apply all this training in a way that actually improves their life.

I am a pediatrician with more than 8 yrs of day-to-day, real hospital based work mostly in govt setups where the patient load never really stops. My focus is on newborns, infants and children—everything from outpatient visits for coughs, fevers, nutrition issues to inpatient care for serious infections or complications. A big part of my work is in SNCU/NICU units, handling high-risk deliveries, premature babies, sepsis, respiratory distress—those fragile first days where tiny changes make a huge difference. Emergency pediatrics also takes up a lot of my time—convulsions, severe dehydration, acute asthma, injuries—you need to act fast, no second guesses. I’ve learned to balance calmness with urgency, which isn’t easy but crucial in child care. Growth and development monitoring is another area I take seriously. Many parents miss early delays, and catching them at the right stage can change outcomes long-term. I also run into preventive care often—vaccination drives, nutrition programs, awareness sessions in community health. These things may not sound dramatic but they keep kids healthier and reduce admissions later. For me, prevention is just as important as treatment. Alongside patient care, I’ve spent a good amount of time training juniors—doctors, nursing staff, support staff. Hospitals run on teamwork, and when standards slip anywhere, children suffer. I try to set clear protocols, explain the why behind each step, not just the how. Some days are draining, esp when despite everything a child doesn’t improve. But most days there’s progress—seeing a baby who was ventilated now feeding on their own, or a toddler gaining weight after months of struggle—that’s what makes this worth it. Pediatrics is not just about small patients, it’s about building healthier lives right from the start, and that’s what I want to keep doing.

I am a pathologist with about 2 yrs of solid workexperience in the field, and for me pathology isn’t just about reporting—it’s the backbone of diagnosis. I started off working as a registrar at Cooper hospital and Rajawadi hospital, and that phase gave me a lot of practical exposure to both routine and emergency samples. Government setups teach you fast how to manage volume and stay precise at the same time. Later I worked as a consultant at Oncquest Pathology Labs in Andheri West. That role really deepened my understanding of oncology related diagnostics—biopsies, cytology, tumor markers, all the details that go into guiding oncologists for treatment planning. Each case felt like piecing together a puzzle where accuracy mattered way more than speed. Currently I am with Aspira Diagnostics in Ghatkopar West for more than a year now. Here I focus on clinical pathology, hematology, histopathology, and biochemistry testing, while coordinating with clinicians to ensure results are clear and actionable. It’s not just signing out reports—it’s about maintaining quality, following proper protocols, and sometimes double-checking when something doesn’t look right. I’d say what drives me is making sure no patient loses out because of careless interpretation. Small mistakes in pathology can change entire treatment courses, so I try to stay very cautious—even if it means re-checking slides late at night. I also enjoy working with teams, discussing difficult cases, and mentoring juniors when the chance comes up. Pathology may not always be in front of patients, but the decisions we make in the lab silently shape their care. That’s the part of medicine where I feel I contribute the most.

I am a pediatrician with about 30 yrs of work in managing everything from emergencies to routine OPD followups. Over the years I’ve been involved in stabilizing kids in PICU and NICU settings, handling neonatal resuscitation, intubations, and critical care where seconds matter. Emergency pediatrics still keeps me alert, cause every case is unpredictable—convulsions, severe infections, trauma, respiratory failure—and you just don’t get the luxury of long thinking. My practice also covers outpatient pediatrics, where growth monitoring, preventive care, and vaccinations form a large part of what I do. I’ve been part of immunization schedules for decades now, guiding parents through each stage and making sure preventive steps are taken seriously. I also manage inpatient pediatric cases, which can range from common infections to more complex, long-stay illnesses. I hold certifications in PALS, NRP, and BLS, which shaped my approach to pediatric life support and emergency response. These trainings reinforced that structured protocols plus calm decision making can save lives even in high pressure conditions. I’m registered with MCI/NMC (Reg No. M.P. 6767), and I’ve worked in setups where collaboration with nurses, junior doctors and specialists was essential. Team coordination is something I put a lot of emphasis on—clear roles, communication, and ensuring protocols are actually followed. What drives me still is the same thing that did 30 yrs ago—seeing children recover, helping parents feel reassured, and making healthcare less frightening for families. Pediatrics is demanding, yes, but it’s also deeply rewarding, and every child I treat reminds me why I continue in this field.

I am working in obstetrics and gynaecology for around 10 years now—across places like Manipal, Kolkata, and Guwahati. Each city kind of shaped me in different ways, honestly. I’ve handled a wide mix of cases but my core work’s mostly around deliveries—normal and not-so-normal ones. Complicated vaginal births where you hold your breath till the last second... and cesareans too when there’s no other way out. I’ve done quite a few hysterectomies as well—some straightforward, others... not really. Infertility is another area I’ve worked in—helping couples who’ve been trying for years or just started realising something’s off. The challenge is that every case has its own pattern, its own emotional weight. You can’t just follow a template. I’ve learned to slow down with those patients, really look at the details... cycles, hormones, all that. What stays with me most is that moment after a tough delivery, when the room goes quiet and you realise—okay, baby and mother are both fine. That’s when all the stress suddenly makes sense. Not every case turns out perfect of course, but you carry those wins with you. And sometimes the losses too. Anyway, I try to keep learning—every patient, every shift adds something to how I see my role.

I am MBBS, with a post grad diploma in obstetrics & gynaecology (PGDGO), and I’ve also cleared MRCOG Part 1 which honestly was no small thing—anyone who's tried that exam knows what I mean. I also hold GMC registration in the UK, which opened up a whole other layer of understanding in terms of global standards and clinical protocols. But credentials aside, what matters more to me is how that training actually shapes patient care. Obstetrics and gynecology kinda found me more than I chose it, maybe? But once I got into it, there wasn’t really a plan B. The complexity, the fast pace, and the deep emotional weight of every case... it keeps you grounded. Whether it’s antenatal care, labour management, postnatal recovery, irregular cycles, PCOS, infertility stuff, or even just creating a safe space for someone to ask uncomfortable questions—this field demands that you *show up*. Every single day. I’m particularly drawn to balancing clinical skills with clear communication. I’ve worked in systems that are both structured (UK style) and a bit chaotic (not naming places), and what always makes the difference is how you connect with the patient—not just how much you “know”. I try not to hide behind terms, even when I’m tired or short on time. If someone doesn't understand what’s going on with their own body, then the treatment is half-lost already. Right now, I’m focusing more on building a space where evidence-based medicine meets human understanding... sounds lofty but really, it’s about slowing down just enough to treat people like people. The degrees, exams, protocols—they matter, but only if they translate into something real in the consultation room. That's what I remind myself. Every time I walk in.

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.

I am a dentist with total 13 yrs of clinical journey, and 9 of those post MDS, which shaped me into a person who can handle both general dentistry as well as specialised care with equal comfort. Over the yrs I learnt to balance routine dental procedures with advanced techniques like conscious sedation and laser assisted treatments, which are really helpful for patients who fear pain or anxiety during dental sittings. I work as a Dental Oncologist at a reputed hospital in Hubli, where my role often extend beyond teeth to dealing with complex oral cancer related cases. Managing those patients require not just surgical precision but also lot of counselling, empathy and multidisciplinary teamwork. I think my strength is in keeping communication simple, whether I am explaining a root canal to a young patient or discussing rehabilitation options for an oncology case with a family that is scared about the future. Dentistry for me is not just about filling cavities or fixing smiles, it is about restoring function, dignity and confidence. Some days are just about routine check ups, others are high stress surgical interventions, but each one add value to my expereince. Over time, I realised how important it is to keep myself updated with newer technology and methods, and I make it a point to integrate them in daily practice when suitable. Teaching and guiding junior colleagues also become part of my work, specially in hospital setting where team coordination matter a lot. My approach is always patient first, evidence based, and I like to plan treatments that are practical, safe, and sustainable for the person in front of me.

I am an obstetrician & gynaecologist, working everyday with women across different stages of life and health concerns. My main focus is reproductive medicine, infertility care and advanced laparoscopic surgery. Some days the cases are routine check ups, sometimes they are quite complex – fertility challenges, hormone imbalances, or surgical issues that need delicate handling. I like to keep my approach straightforward, clear, and empathetic... though honestly medicine can be unpredictable, and I never forget that behind every diagnosis there’s a real person waiting for answers. I trained in obstetrics and gynaecology with the aim of combining science with practical solutions. Over the years I developed strong interest in reproductive medicine, not just the technical side but also the emotional aspects of treatment – IVF, assisted conception, management of recurrent pregnancy loss. These are sensitive areas and I try to give patients not only precise treatment plans but also a sense of continuity and trust. It doesnt matter if a couple is at the beginning of their fertility journey or already tired after multiple attempts, I take time to explain things (maybe I explain too much sometimes, but clarity helps). Surgery is another field I am deeply committed too. Minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures allow faster recovery, less pain, and better outcomes in many gynaecological conditions like fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis. I believe laparoscopic surgery is not just about technology but about choosing wisely when it is really indicated. There is a fine line between over treating and doing what’s absolutely needed. I continue to attend professional meetings, read updates (sometimes too many articles at once!) and apply new evidence carefully into practice. I may not always have perfect words but my goal is simple – to provide safe, ethical, and effective care in reproductive health and women’s surgery. Patients often tell me they appreciate the balance between medical accuracy and the way I try to listen. For me, medicine is less about titles and more about connection. And maybe that’s the one thing I try hardest not to forget.
