Area of specialization: | I am into preventive cardiology but not in the usual way. I work through Ayurveda—where heart care’s not just pills and reports but more like understanding how your daily life, food, stress and even sleep plays out inside your body. I look at early signs and dosha imbalances and kinda try to catch things before they become full-blown problems. Diet correction, herbal meds (but the real ones, not just fancy powders), daily habits—all that gets customized depending on the person’s prakriti n lifestyle mess-ups (we all have some). I’m also deeply into Garbhsanskar work, that’s like prenatal Ayurveda for moms who want to support thier baby from the very first weeks. We use gentle herbs, mantras sometimes, daily regimens to build calm, steady emotional balance—’cause that passes on to the fetus too. Apart from these I also guide patients with dosha-based diets n small preventive therapies which, over time, support immunity, digestion, hormones... a lot. I don’t rush treatment—its about tuning the body back into its own balance. |
Achievements: | I am trained in Preventive Cardiology (that was from Madhavbaug) which really shaped how I see heart health—more from root-cause, lifestyle side than just symptom control. Also did certifcation in Garbhsanskar which I use a lot with mothers now, it’s kinda underrated but v powerful if done right. Plus I hold BLS and ALS—helped me stay grounded in emergency settings, esp during high-stress care. It’s a mix of Ayurveda n core life support skills that keeps my practice real, not guesswrk. |
I am someone who’s kinda grown through two worlds of medicine—the tight, chaotic pace of emergency wards and the deeper, long-game focus of preventive cardiology. Started out with ground-level exposure at a govt hospital where I was a Medical Officer during the covid waves… those months taught me more than any textbook. Managing OPDs, forming treatment protocols daily, watching the crisis unfold up close—it just made me sharper, faster, more aware of the gaps where people really need support. Later on, I wanted to do something more focused, long-term kinda thing… That’s when I enrolled in the Fellowship in Preventive Cardiology from Madhavbaug Institute. There I got into risk profiling, early cardiac intervention stuff, lifestyle-based heart care—all those areas that help prevent things before they blow up. Felt like I was finally able to connect dots between everyday choices and what lands people in ICUs. I joined Baroda Heart Institute after that, and that place really leveled things up. The ICCU work—like actual cardiac emergencies, handling patients mid-crisis, stabilizing vitals, constantly coordinating with other units—really pushed my response time n confidence. Everything's super intense but it trained me to stay steady even when it gets overwhelming. You’re not just treating the patient, you’re supporting families, making hard calls, being present in every single moment. Now whether it's someone walking in with borderline BP or chest heaviness or a chronic diabetic trying to avoid complications, I try to bring all that—public health instincts, cardiac precision, practical counseling—into one consistent approach. I genuinely like explaining stuff to patients… helping them not just treat things but actually feel in control of their health without getting lost in med jargon or panic googling!! End of the day, I think medicine is both science and something way more human. That balance matters to me.
