Experience:
3 years
Education:
Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Institute of Medical Sciences
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mainly focused on general surgery—with a real interest in cosmetic work, hair and skin restoration, and gut issues that don’t respond well to just one type of treatment. What makes my approach a little different is that I work at the intersection of surgery *and* Ayurveda. I like finding that point where clinical precision meets deep, whole-body balance. Because healing shouldn’t stop at stitches or skin—it should reach into how the system’s actually working. A lot of my work now is in cosmetic procedures, both minor and reconstructive, where patients are not just looking for improvement in appearance but also a better relationship with their body. Hair fall, acne scarring, skin pigmentation—those things can affect confidence big time. But I don’t stop at surface fixes. I bring in internal support too—cleansing, rasayana herbs, gut reset if needed—'cause long-term results come when internal and external match. I also treat gut and autoimmune disorders that often get missed or misread. Stuff like IBS, bloating, food reactions, joint pains tied to immunity... these cases need both a sharp diagnosis and a soft, consistent healing plan. That’s where I use Ayurvedic principles to calm the system and support repair. Each care plan I make is custom. Like—really custom. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-anyone. The aim is not just symptom relief, it’s *sustainability*. Surgery when necessary, herbs when helpful, food always. And a little patience—it works.
Achievements:
I am someone who started with a BAMS foundation but kinda kept moving into more hands-on work—surgical and cosmetic both. I did specialized training in general *and* cosmetic surgery, and that shifted a lot in how I approach procedures now. One thing I’m super grateful for is receiving the L’Oréal Award in International Cosmetology. That experience deepened how I view aesthetic work—not just looks, but healing through confidence. Blending that with Ayurved? That’s where things got real interesting.

I am currently working as a Resident Surgeon at Dhanwantri Medical College, and honestly, this role has pushed me to explore medicine from two lenses at once—surgical science and Ayurvedic wisdom. That mix is what keeps me grounded. My work mainly revolves around cosmetic surgery therapy, general medicine, and traditional Ayurvedic treatments. The goal? Not just to fix a problem or cut something out—but to actually *restore* balance, both inside and outside. In cosmetic and reconstructive work, precision really matters. Every cut, every detail—it affects someone’s confidence, their self-image, their healing. But then I also lean into the Ayurvedic side, which brings a whole other layer. Healing is not just tissue—it’s how the doshas are behaving, how digestion is running, how the mind is handling all of it. That’s why I blend post-surgical protocols with herbal support, diet correction, and sometimes Rasayana chikitsa when needed. It’s not always expected, but it works. Over time I’ve dealt with a wide mix of cases—general medical issues, post-op complications, skin corrections, keloids, even patients looking for safe cosmetic enhancement with natural support. Each case teaches me something new about the body’s capacity to recover—especially when we treat it like a whole system, not just a part. What drives me is offering patients something that feels complete. Like yes, you got the surgery you needed—but also your system is supported, your inflammation’s managed naturally, your energy’s better. I’m very focused on ethics too—cosmetic doesn’t mean unnecessary. It’s about *need* and *intention*. I try to stay updated on both sides—modern surgical advancements, and deep classical Ayurved texts. When those two meet, the result is not just clinical—it’s transformative. And that’s the kind of care I want to keep delivering. Honest, whole, and actually *human*.
