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 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.

नमस्ते 👁️
आपकी left आँख के पलक के अंदर की तरफ मुलायम सूजन जो 4 हफ्ते से ज़्यादा है, दर्द नहीं, लाली या पानी नहीं – यह आमतौर पर चालाज़ियन (chalazion) होता है। यह तब बनता है जब तेल ग्रंथि (meibomian gland) ब्लॉक हो जाती है।
✅ अब क्या करें?
· गर्म सेक (warm compress) दिन में 3-4 बार, 10-15 मिनट के लिए। साफ सूती कपड़े को गुनगुने पानी में भिगोकर बंद पलक पर रखें।
· धीरे-धीरे मालिश – गर्म सेक के बाद, साफ उंगली से सूजन की तरफ से बाहर की ओर हल्के से रगड़ें।
· पलक की सफ़ाई – बेबी शैम्पू या पलक क्लीन्ज़र से रोज़ साफ करें।
· बिना प्रेशर के छोड़ें – निचोड़ें या फोड़ें नहीं, संक्रमण बढ़ सकता है।
🩺 डॉक्टर कब दिखाएँ?
· अगर 2 हफ्ते लगातार गर्म सेक करने पर भी सूजन न घटे
· अगर सूजन बड़ी हो जाए, लाल हो जाए, दर्द होने लगे
· आपको पहले से कोई आँख की बीमारी है (जैसे ब्लेफेराइटिस, ड्राई आई) – इसलिए जल्दी चेक करवाना बेहतर है
डॉक्टर सूजन में स्टेरॉयड इंजेक्शन या छोटी सर्जरी (incision & curettage) कर सकते हैं। यह OPD में 10 मिनट का प्रोसीजर है।
⚠️ क्या यह कोई गंभीर चीज़ है?
नहीं, chalazion आमतौर पर हानिरहित होता है। लेकिन 4+ हफ्ते से ठीक न होना मतलब – अपने आप नहीं जाएगा। गर्म सेक शुरू करें, अगर 2 हफ्ते में सुधार नहीं तो नेत्र रोग विशेषज्ञ से मिलें।

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

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.

Aapke symptoms (palak ke andar soft, painless sujan jo 4 hafton se hai aur dheere-dheere theek nahi ho rahi) sabse zyada Chalazion se match karte hain. Yeh ek oil gland block hone ki wajah se hota hai, isliye yeh generally painful nahi hota aur soft lump jaisa feel hota hai, aur kabhi-kabhi weeks tak reh sakta hai. Iska best initial treatment hai garam paani se warm compress (10–15 min, din me 3–4 baar) aur halki massage, jisse gland khulne me help milti hai. Aapko ise dabana ya phodna nahi chahiye, warna infection ho sakta hai. Agar 2–3 hafton me size kam nahi hota, ya aur bada ho jata hai, toh eye specialist ko dikhana zaroori hai—kabhi-kabhi usme medicated drops ya minor procedure ki zarurat pad sakti hai. Overall, yeh serious nahi hota, lekin patience aur proper care se hi theek hota hai.

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Aapki aankh ke palak ke andar mulayam sujan jo 4 hafton se hai, bina dard, redness, ya discharge ke—yeh aksar ek chalazion ho sakta hai. Chalazion ek gland blockage hota hai, jo kabhi kabhi khud hi thik ho jata hai, lekin kabhi persistent reh sakta hai.
Kya kar sakte hain:
- Din mein 3-4 baar garam pani ka kapda (warm compress) sujan par 10-15 minute ke liye rakhein, isse blockage khul sakta hai.
- Palak ko gently saaf rakhein, lekin dabayein ya press na karein.
- Agar sujan badh jaye, dard ho, ya vision mein badlav aaye, toh eye specialist ko zaroor dikhayein.
Rx-
Amoxicillin 625 - din ki ek yeh 3 din tak le le
Thank you

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello
Aap jo describe kar rahe hain—palak ke andar mulayam sujan jo 4 hafte se zyada se thik nahi ho rahi aur dard bhi nahi hai—yeh aksar Chalazion hota hai. Isme palak ki oil gland block ho jati hai, jis se ek soft lump ban jata hai. Yeh usually dangerous nahi hota, lekin kabhi-kabhi khud se jaldi thik nahi hota.
Abhi aap kya kar sakte hain:
Din me 3–4 baar 10–15 minute tak garam pani se sek (warm compress) karein. Isse gland khulne me madad milti hai aur sujan dheere-dheere kam ho sakti hai. Palak ko zor se dabayein ya phodne ki koshish na karein, isse infection ho sakta hai.
Doctor ko kab dikhana chahiye:
Agar sujan 6–8 hafte tak bhi bani rahe, size badhne lage, bar-bar wapas aaye, ya aankh lal ho jaye, pani ya discharge aaye, ya nazar par asar pade, to eye specialist ko dikhana zaroori hota hai. Kabhi-kabhi chhota sa procedure karke isse nikalna padta hai, jo simple aur routine hota hai.
Zyadatar cases me yeh problem theek ho jati hai, bas regular warm compress sabse effective pehla step hota hai.
Take care

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

Aankh ke palak ke andar soft sujan, jo thik nahi ho raha, aksar chalazion ya sty ho sakta hai. Chalazion sebaceous gland blockage se hota hai, jabki sty bacterial infection ka natija hai. Pehle, ghar par garam paani se compress karke dekhein—ek clean cloth ko garam paani me dip karein aur sujan par din me 3-4 baar, har baar 10-15 minute tak lagayein. Yeh sujan ko dheere dheere kam kar sakta hai. Agar sujan me koi halka pain ya redness hai, to yeh sty ho sakta hai, aur aapko over-the-counter antibiotic ointment, jaise ki polymyxin B-leik sandhi, ke istemal par vichar kar sakte hain; lekin, ise istemal karne se pehle, ek doctor ke salah lena awashyak hai.
Kisi bhi condition me, sujan ko dabayein ya nikaalne ki koshish nahi karein, kyunki isse infection badh sakta hai. Agar kuch hafto me sujan kam nahi hota, ya sujan ke sath bahut zyada pain, redness, ya vision problems ho rahi hai, to turant eye specialist ke paas jaayen. Yeh symptoms kisi serious daane ya infection ki taraf ishara kar sakte hain, jise professional treatment ki zarurat hoti hai. Eye hygiene ka dhyan rakhna bhi mahatvapurn hai—make-up ko daily saaf karein aur aankho ko haath se touch karne se bachen. Sahi diagnosis aur treatment dene ke liye specialist se direct consultation zaroori hai.
