About Me

Care Philosophy

  • I believe that each patient is unique. Endocrine and Diabetes care are definitely not 'one size fits all' and I think it is important to get to know patient and their lifestyle in order to create a treatment plan that will work for them. As Sushruta, an ancient Indian Physician said ``The greatest medicine of all is to teach people how not to need it``, My focus is on lifestyle changes to prevent, treat and potentially reverse chronic Endocrine conditions in its early stages.
