Doctor information
Experience:
1 year
Education:
Government Ayurveda College, Nagpur
Academic degree:
Master of Surgery in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am a BAMS with MS in Shalyatantra and yeah, most of my work revolves around proctology n general surgery—but not just that. I mainly deal with anorectal issues—like piles, fissure, fistula, pilonidal sinus. Those conditions ppl often delay or get misdiagnosed for, right? I use Ksharsutra therapy a lot, it’s minimal-invasive and honestly works great when done right. Sometimes surgery’s needed, sometimes it’s not—it depends on the patient’s condition n timing of intervention. I also work more broadly as a general Ayurvedic physician–plus-surgeon, handling chronic gut problems, acute flare-ups, even post-op recovery cases. Not everything fits into one approach. For some, I lean more classical Ayurveda; for others, I mix in modern emergency protocols when it’s absolutely necessary. I try to treat from the root, not just patch up symptoms or pain points temporarily. Even in post-surgical phase, I really focus on cleaning up the system from inside—digestion, dosha balance, wound healing, all of that. I believe in integrated care—not just handing meds and moving on. And yeah, I won’t claim quick fixes. My goal’s simple: safer healing, less recurrence, and helping people actually understand what their body’s trying to say before things go out of hand.
Achievements:
I am trained from govt setups for both BAMS n MS in Shalyatantra, which honestly gave me a ton of hands-on stuff—crowded OPDs, emergency rounds, real-time decision making kinda thing. I saw like all kinds of patients daily, from basic anorectal to surgical complications, and that helped me build my diagostic confidence n speed. Govt hospital life isn’t smooth but it taught me to stay grounded n stick to evidence-based Ayurvedic care that actually works—not just the textbook theory.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who studied at R.A. Podar Ayurvedic Medical College in Mumbai—yeah, one of the oldest institutions—and that’s where I built up my base in clinical Ayurveda. Diagnostics, therapeutic planning, surgery theory, patient interaction... all of it. I was also part of the COVID-19 response team during the peak months and spent about 9 months on ground—handling emergencies, doing rounds, managing patients who didn’t always come with textbook symptoms. That experience hit different, taught me more about human resilience and practical medicine than any textbook probably could. Later, I went on to do my MS from Govt Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Nagpur. There the focus shifted more into specifics—Shalya Tantra, minor surgical techniques in Ayurveda, wound management, kshar karma, Agnikarma... I started seeing how classical procedures still hold real clinical value even today, if applied correctly. After completing that, I worked at Kolekar Hospital & ICCU, Chembur for 5 months—very hands-on role. Was managing patients in critical care, post-surgical support, and even got some direct exposure to handling multi-system complications alongside modern specialists. Right now, I focus on combining what I’ve seen across both systems—Ayurveda and emergency/critical care setups—and finding a working balance. Like, I don’t believe in pitting one system against the other. Instead, I try to actually integrate—what works from Ayurveda in the long run with what’s urgent and necessary in acute setups. I treat people with chronic illnesses, surgical needs, and even preventive goals. Every case isn’t just a protocol—I build the treatment based on prakruti, medical history, and patient lifestyle, and yeah, some trial and error is part of it too. I’m still learning, tbh. Every patient teaches you something. But I do know this—I believe in medicine that’s aware, precise, and real—not blindly traditional, not blindly modern. Just... rooted.
