Doctor information
Experience:
3 years
Education:
PNNM Ayurveda Medical College
Academic degree:
Master of Surgery in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am an Ayurvedic surgeon trained in Shalya Tantra (MS Ayurveda), and yeah I mostly focus on ano-rectal cases. Stuff like piles, fissure, fistula-in-ano or pilonidal sinus—those are the kinds of conditions I deal with almost everyday. I work mostly with classical para-surgical approaches like Ksharasutra and Agnikarma... sometimes they're underestimated but honestly, they’re incredibly effective when done right, with the right prep n aftercare.

I try not to rush treatment just cause it's familiar. Every patient’s different right?? One guy with fissure may need total diet reset while another needs more local care or psychological support even. I spend time understanding the whole picture—not just what's visible externally. That’s kind of why I combine traditional Ayurvedic techs with modern diagnosis when needed (not everything needs to be either-or, tbh).

What I focus on now is more of a patient-first, low-recurrence kinda model. Not just fix it and forget it—it's more about setting up longterm changes too, especially with food habits, bowel routine n stuff ppl don’t usually talk openly about. Education’s a big part for me, and ya sometimes it gets tiring repeating the same basics again but it’s totally worth it when someone actually comes back n says things improved. That matters more than any lab report.

I’m still actively learning btw—whether it’s new clinical cases, research updates, or just trial and error on what works better during healing phases. My goal isn't just symptom relief, it’s better quality of life... less pain, less fear, more trust in the process. Ayurvedic proctology’s got that depth, and I try my best to bring that into every case I see.
Achievements:
I am a CRAV fellow from Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth—was lucky to get hands-on training there under some really sharp ayurveda surgeons n physicians. The mentorship part honestly changed how I approached difficult cases, esp in gut-related disorders where symptoms can get confusing fast.

During that phase I also got involved in a small collab research thing—kinda focused on Ayurvedic pharmacology, gut health, and how classical formulations actually work on metabolic & digestive level (not just theory). We had some good findings on how formulations behave differently based on agni status, but it’s still a work in progress, I keep trying to deepen that part of my practice.

Clinical work was intense—daily rounds, prep, procedures, & follow-up... I remember struggling with balancing textbook logic vs. patient symptoms, but eventually started trusting classical signs more. Also learned a lot about how simple things like timing or anupana can totally shift outcomes.

That fellowship helped tighten my base and gave me clarity around evidence-based Ayurvedic work without losing the core of traditional logic. It shaped how I treat today.

I am someone who kinda naturally leaned into proctology while working through my Ayurvedic journey, and that path really got solidified during my CRAV (Certificate of Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth) training at Susrutha Nursing Home. That fellowship wasn’t just academic—it was hands-on, intense, and kinda life-changing in a way. I got to work real close with some v experienced Ayurveda surgeons there, mostly around ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fissures (Parikartika), fistula (Bhagandara), pilonidal sinus and rectal polyps. During those days I was literally involved in every aspect—initial case discussions, assisting in Ksharasutra application, wound dressing, follow-ups. I didn’t just watch—I did... and failed a bit, learned fast. There were sessions where things went super smooth, and others where things got way more complicated than expected. But that’s where the real growth happned. I learnt to handle anal dilatation procedures, excision surgeries, and patient prep + recovery, all under the kind of pressure you don’t get from books. What really stuck with me was the combo of traditional Ayurveda tools like Ksharasutra with modern stuff—proctoscopy, imaging etc., and how seamlessly those two worlds can actually blend. Minimally invasive methods were always emphasized. And yeah—less trauma, faster recovery, lower recurrence—that part really makes the most sense to me now as a practicing doc. I try not to rush anything. Whether it’s piles or something more complex, I like to talk to the patient, hear their actual issues rather than just reports, and plan treatments that feel both personalised and rooted. This background gave me confidence not just in surgical precision but in building long-term healing plans too. These days I’m building on that experience in my own setup, taking time to educate patients as much as I treat them. Proctology’s a field ppl sometimes ignore till they’re desperate—but it doesn’t hv to be that way. I’m here to offer evidence-based, classical Ayurvedic care that doesn’t just fix symptoms but prevents future flareups too.
