Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly into rheumatology these days—autoimmune and inflammatory joint stuff like RA, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, AS... those are kinda my core focus now. I’ve spent years studying how these diseases behave—like really behave—not just on paper but how they show up diff in diff people. Pain, stiffness, fatigue, flare patterns, joint damage risks—these aren’t quick-fix things. Managing them means understanding the full story behind a patient’s symptoms, not just prescribing pills. I follow evidence-based treatment plans, sure, but I also believe long-term care needs more than meds—lifestyle tweaks, helping people understand their condition, avoiding burnout from over-treating or under-treating. And yeah—there’s a lot of trial-and-error some times. But that’s fine. I prefer being practical and realistic, while still aiming for control, stability and a better quality of life without overwhelm. Helping folks navigate that mess without confusion? That’s the real goal. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda found my grounding in rheumatology during the time I worked as a Senior Research Fellow at AIIMS Delhi. Two years there honestly changed how I see chronic joint and immune disorders—it wasn’t just about textbooks anymore. I was directly involved in managing tough cases like lupus and RA, real patients with real complications. Got to work on research stuff too—clinical trials, patient follow-ups, a bit of data crunching (not always fun lol) but really shaped how I use evidence in actual care. Being around top rheumatologists? that pushed me to ask better questions, not just follow the protocol blindly. It wasn’t easy but yeah, it made me better at seeing the whole picture—not just the labs or scans, but what’s actually going on inside the body. |
I am someone who’s had the chance to work in some pretty intense medical settings, and honestly that’s shaped a lot of how I practice today. I spent 2 years as a Senior Research Fellow in the Dept of Rheumatology at AIIMS Delhi—yea, one of those places where your clinical brain gets pushed hard. Most of my time there was deep in the world of autoimmune stuff—rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, spondyloarthritis, connective tissue disease—it was research but also very hands-on with patients. It wasn’t just theory or paper writing. I was involved in patient rounds, joint clinics, research reviews, academic discussions (some a bit too long tbh) but it all added up. I got to see how complex cases are handled from multiple lenses—immunology, imaging, pharma, lifestyle—and it sharpened my ability to pick subtle signs early. Working with senior rheumatologists there made me realize how crucial long-term planning and patient counseling really is. Meds matter, sure, but explaining what’s happening in someone’s body—that part’s not optional. After AIIMS, I worked as a Resident Medical Officer at Tulip Hospital for about a year. It was totally different vibe—faster pace, more acute cases, more “you need to decide now” moments. That’s where I learned to trust my instinct more, manage emergency meds, talk to families who are scared and need clarity, and yeah—balance chaos with calm, somehow. I’m very into patient-centric care—not in the fluffy sense—but really making sure people understand their diagnosis, what each medicine’s doing, and how they can participate in their recovery. Whether it’s someone coming in with swollen joints or weird fevers that don’t go away or even vague body pains that’ve been dragging for months—I don’t rush. I ask, I recheck, I explain. Medicine's not static for me—I keep updating myself with new rheumatology guidelines, emerging trials, whatever’s credible and practical. I believe chronic disease care needs consistency, not just cleverness. And if I can help someone manage a difficult diagnosis without them feeling totally lost in it—that’s the kind of work I wanna keep doing.
