I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

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.

I am someone who spent 6 months working at Malti Memorial Hospital and honestly that short time kinda taught me more than I expected. I mean, you read textbooks and pass exams but then real patients walk in—with pain, fear, weird symptoms—and suddenly you're not thinking about MCQs, you're thinking about what *actually* helps. I mostly assisted with dental cases during my time there—routine and complicated both. Cleanings, fillings, extractions, and root canals were part of the daily flow, but what stood out more was watching how senior docs dealt with people. Like, not just the treatment part, but how they explained stuff... gently but clearly, especially to elder folks or scared kids. I still remember fumbling over words trying to explain post-op care to one patient and realizing I gotta get better at *talking*, not just doing. There were days when OPD would get packed, and we had to work fast but still not mess anything up. Honestly made me appreciate efficiency without losing focus. Did I forget steps sometimes? yep. Did I double-glove by mistake or drop an instrument? also yes (embarrassing). But it made me sharper, more aware. Learned to prep trays better, assist quicker, clean instruments properly, and yeah—respect every little part of the process. Even the boring ones. Also got to observe a few minor oral surgeries and that kinda sparked my interest in more advanced stuff. I wasn’t always directly involved but just being there, watching, asking doubts later... those bits add up. Even now, some habits I picked up there—like being extra careful with case history or checking occlusion twice—stick with me. That hospital wasn’t fancy or high-tech, but it was busy. Real work, real learning. And while 6 months might not sound like a lot on paper, I honestly feel it shaped a chunk of how I approach patients now—more calm, more alert, and def a bit more humble.

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Delayed or irregular periods with light flow can be caused by a variety of factors. In your case, since a pregnancy test came back negative, there are several other considerations. Hormonal imbalances are a common culprit and can be influenced by factors like stress, changes in weight, or diet. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could also be a possibility, which often presents with irregular cycles and varying menstrual flow. To accurately pinpoint the cause, further evaluation may be necessary. Thyroid dysfunction is another potential cause, as it can disrupt your menstrual cycle.

It would be wise to visit a healthcare professional who might recommend tests such as blood work to check hormone levels, including thyroid function, and perhaps an ultrasound to assess the ovaries and uterus. Keeping a record of your menstrual cycles including flow and associated symptoms can be helpful for your doctor. In the meantime, maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and managing stress can be beneficial for your menstrual health. Make sure to stay well-hydrated and get enough sleep, as lifestyle factors can have significant effects on your cycle. If your menstrual irregularities persist or worsen, do not delay seeking further medical evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.
