Area of specialization:
I am mostly into General Surgery but with a real focused leaning towards Proctology these days—just find it more demanding in terms of accuracy, and tbh, also more neglected when it comes to how people seek help. I deal with a mix of stuff—like hernias, hydroceles, GI issues, even basic soft tissue swellings—but I’m especially involved in treating piles, fistula-in-ano, fissures, and pilonidal sinus. That whole lower end of the digestive tract tends to get ignored until the pain kicks in, or worse. I prefer going the minimally invasive way whenever it fits—less downtime, quicker recovery, cleaner healing. But the plan depends on the patient, not just the diagnosis. What matters to me is that patients know what’s being done *and* why. Whether it’s a recurring swelling or chronic anal pain that no ointment fixes, I believe half the treatment is understanding the real cause first, not rushing into cutting something open. Follow-up is also a big part of how I work. One clean surgery won’t fix much if the post-op goes wrong or the patient doesn't get clear guidance for what’s next. I try to make space for that—calls, messages, second visits, whatever helps them feel they're not just left on their own after the discharge.
Achievements:
I am honestly not someone who counts trophies or numbers, but yeah, something that stuck with me over time is how many patients come back not just healed but kinda relieved that they felt seen, not rushed. Like they’d say — “finally someone listened!!” That stuff matters. Whether it’s a quick hernia repair or something messy like a fistula, I do try to stay present through it all — before, during, and especially after. Guess that’s one thing I quietly take pride in.

I am a Consultant General Surgeon & Proctologist, and honestly a lot of my work revolves around fixing things people usually don’t wanna talk about out loud—like piles, fissures, fistulas, pilonidal sinus, that whole uncomfortable but super common territory. I kinda made it a point early on to focus on anorectal conditions not just bcz they need precision, but also bcz they come with a lot of personal discomfort that patients don’t always know how to deal with, or who to turn to. In my clinical practice, I handle both general surgeries—like hernias, hydroceles, soft tissue lumps—and the more specific colorectal stuff. I do both traditional n minimally invasive procedures depending on what fits best. Honestly, it’s not just about cutting something out or fixing a leak—it’s about figuring what’s really going wrong, making sure we’re not missing the bigger picture, and then tailoring the treatment around that. When a patient walks in with pain while passing stool or bleeding or just a weird swelling that won’t go away, I try to keep things real n clear. No jargon, no rushing. I do a full clinical eval, walk them through options, explain why a surgery may or may not be needed. And if it is, then we go through the safest, most effective route—step by step. I pay a lot of attention to post-op recovery too—like, I don’t disappear after the surgery. I believe recovery is 50% of the success. Without proper wound care, diet advice or follow-ups, the same issue just comes back again. Also just wanna say—I keep learning. Not just from courses or guidelines, but every weird case teaches me smth new. And trust me, with this field, you see a lot of weird. But that’s what makes it interesting. I stick to updated protocols, take hygiene v seriously, and genuinely want people to walk out feeling lighter... not just physically but mentally too. Cuz living with untreated anorectal pain? It just wrecks your peace, silently.
