Area of specialization: | I am mainly into general medicine, which basically means I end up dealing with a pretty wide mix of health stuff – from the common fevers and infections that just need the right care at the right time, to those long-term things like blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid issues that keep needing follow up and adjustments. I kind of like that variety actually, it keeps me alert… no two patients are really the same, even if the diagnosis looks identical on paper. I focus a lot on listening, maybe more than talking at first, because people often drop little details without realising they matter for the diagnosis. My work is part detective, part guide – spotting patterns in symptoms, lab results, even how someone describes their day. And yeah, sometimes treatment is straight-forward, other times you’ve to balance meds, lifestyle changes, and just plain patience till things settle. I try to make sure patients walk away understanding their condition, not just the prescription in their hand… it just makes recovery smoother and more likely to last. |
Achievements: | I am working with quite a range of patients honestly, from kids with autism where I focus on improving behaviour, focus and daily living skills, to adults dealing with impotency or low sexual health where aphrodisiac support can help restore balance. I also treat fertility related issues for both men & women, using targeted medicines and therapy plans. It’s not always quick results, some cases need more time and small adjustements, but seeing even little improvments makes the effort worth it. |
I am working mainly in inner medicine, which for me means dealing with those complex, often overlapping health issues that don’t always have a quick fix. Day to day, I manage everything from chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, digestive troubles… to sudden acute problems that need fast thinking and steady hands. Sometimes it’s about adjusting treatments carefully over months, other times you need to make decisions in minutes, no time to overthink. I like looking at the whole picture—lab results, patient history, small clues in their lifestyle—and then connecting them to find what’s actually going wrong underneath. And yes, a lot of times patients come after trying multiple doctors or treatments, feeling tired of not getting clear answers… that’s when I really dig in, because inner medicine is about patterns, not just isolated symptoms. I work to balance treatment efficiency with patient comfort, making sure they understand what’s happening with their own health. Whether it’s coordinating care between departments or fine-tuning medication and therapy plans, my focus is to keep everything moving in a way that’s both clinically sound and humanly kind.
