WHAT DO I DO:

Hello Everyone,

I'm a Dermatology General Practitioner (GP) and medical cosmetic doctor at the DC CLINIC, with over a decade of experience in managing primary skin disorders and cosmetic skin concerns. In line with India's National Medical Commission guidelines, I don't use the title "Dermatologist" without an "MD Dermatology" from India.

Nevertheless, with a strong academic and practical background in dermatology, having studied and practised in both the UK and India, my primary focus is on outpatient care, specializing in addressing primary skin conditions and cosmetic concerns. I refer patients to tertiary centres for complex treatments requiring hospitalization or specialized medications for optimal care and a speedy recovery.

I'm passionate about managing various skin conditions, including acne, hair loss, pigmentation issues, and signs of ageing. With my broad interest in nutritional dermatology, I take pride in educating patients about the impact of diet and lifestyle choices on skin and hair health. I'm dedicated to providing safe, effective cosmetic treatments with a focus on achieving natural-looking results.

In addition to my clinical work, I'm actively involved in scientific writing. I've published numerous articles in dermatology in prestigious national and international journals. Furthermore, I find fulfilment in peer-reviewing articles for renowned international journals in the field.

Outside of my professional life, I'm a proud mother to a wonderful daughter, a role that brings me immense joy and fulfilment. During my free time, I enjoy refining my culinary skills, constantly striving to improve my expertise in the culinary arts. These personal passions, combined with my professional accomplishments, contribute to my growth as an individual in both personal and professional realm.
