Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

Reducing hairfall and addressing premature greying can be quite challenging but not impossible. For longstanding hairfall, consider the potential underlying causes: stress, nutritional deficiencies (particularly iron, vitamin D, and B12), hormonal imbalances, or genetic factors. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those found in leafy greens, nuts, and fish can be crucial. Integrating stress-reducing activities such as yoga or meditation might also play a significant role. It’s important to avoid harsh hair treatments and use mild shampoos that are sulfate-free. Premature greying often results from genetics, but other contributors might include stress, smoking, and lack of vitamin B12. Nutrition can again hold some key - add foods high in antioxidants like berries, beans, and dark leafy greens to combat oxidative stress. Moreover, some studies suggest that copper-rich foods like lentils, almonds, and seeds may support pigment production. Addressing uneven greying can be trickier, as this pattern often hints at structural changes within the hair shaft, possibly related to melanin depletion. While reversing greying entirely isn’t scientifically backed, maintaining scalp and hair health can slow the process. Specific hair treatment like topical low-dose minoxidil might help with hairfall but consult your doctor before starting it. If the hair loss or greying appears rapid or associated with other symptoms, it’s prudent to consult a dermatologist or a trichologist to rule out conditions like thyroid dysfunction or alopecia. They’re able to provide the most detailed advice and conduct tests if needed.
