My Values

Dear Patient, please take a minute of your time to read this. The values that I have listed below represent my core beliefs and are the guiding principles of my practice style.

  1. If there is an ailment that can be treated through lifestyle changes, I will not prescribe medicines for it. If there is an ailment that can be treated by medicines, I will not prescribe a surgery for it. In terms of approaches: Natural first, Medical next and finally Surgical.
  2. As a patient being informed is your right. An informed patient will ask the right questions, understand the diagnosis better and subsequently will do the right things to heal faster. You will find my recommendations of reference materials, books, websites and informative videos and blogs on my personal website.
  3. I will not do gender determination scans or gender selective abortions. Not just because they are illegal, but because I believe them to be completely wrong. I am a proud mother of two girl children.
  4. I shall not recommend any particular lab for the tests that I prescribe or a particular pharmacy store for the medicines. You are free to choose any good lab or pharmacy store.
  5. In the interest of everyone’s time, I will try and minimize your follow up visits. For showing lab test results or for minor queries, please use Whatsapp (and other technologies). If I need you to see me in person, I will say so.
  6. As a working professional, I understand and value your time. I will do my best to keep the waiting time to minimum, keep you informed of my delays (due to emergencies) and holidays.
  7. Finally, if I feel that you need the care and attention of a super specialist or that I am out of my depth, I will not hesitate to refer you out to one. Patient interest is above all else.
