About Me

My Journey

I have been practicing medicine since 2003, bringing over two decades of expertise and compassion to women's healthcare. My journey in medicine began with a strong foundation and continued through dedication to excellence in obstetrics and gynaecology.

During early years, my professional experience included working with some of India's most prestigious medical institutions:

• SMS Hospital, Jaipur - Building foundational expertise in obstetrics and gynaecology
• Apollo Hospital, Delhi - Advanced training in modern medical practices
• Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi - Experience in managing complex cases

The city of Pune adopted me in 2000. Since then, this city has been my home. I have tried to give back by serving the community with dedication and care.

My Philosophy: Friend First, Gynaec Later

I take pride in calling myself Your Friendly Gynaec. My approach to medicine is deeply personal and patient-centered. I believe in building genuine relationships with my patients, creating a safe and comfortable environment where women feel heard, understood, and supported.

My philosophy is rooted in two core beliefs:

• Normal delivery whenever possible - I am a strong advocate of natural childbirth and work closely with expectant mothers to prepare them physically and mentally for a normal delivery.
• Limited medication approach - I also believe in minimal medical intervention, preferring to work with the body's natural processes and only prescribing medication when truly necessary.

Personal Experience That Shapes My Care

A mother of two, I underwent two cesarean sections myself. Both these experiences give a unique perspective to my practice. I understand firsthand the fears, anxieties, and emotional complexities that expectant mothers, their partners and their families face. This personal experience makes me exceptionally empathetic and patient-focused.

My journey through motherhood has given me deep insights into:

• The physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy
• The fears surrounding childbirth procedures
• The recovery process and postpartum care
• Balancing professional life with motherhood
• Balancing societal and family expectations with, sometimes, limited support system

Understanding Modern Families

I am surrounded by IT and Tech professionals in my family, giving me unique insight into the work-life pressures faced by modern Pune families, especially in the Baner-Hinjewadi corridor. I understand the challenges of:

• Managing pregnancy alongside project demands
• Time constraints in the increasing 'Return To Office' environment
• Modern lifestyle-related health concerns

This understanding allows me to provide practical, realistic healthcare solutions that fit into the busy lives of my patients.

I carry out the required procedures at many different hospitals, giving my patients a choice accordingly to their location, budget and insurance.

Beyond the Clinic

I extend my commitment to women's health beyond the clinical practice. I amd an active member of the Imperial Chapter of the Inner Wheel club. I conduct pro bono women's health awareness sessions for:

• Underprivileged sections of the society - Wellness programs focused on women's health issues
• Schools & Educational Institutions - Adolescent health education and awareness sessions

I was associated with Persistent Systems for few years as visiting doctor for in-house consultation for employees. Now, I conduct awareness sessions for various corporates on topics like:

• Menstrual Wellbeing
• Menopause
• PCOS/PCOD
• Women Health

I am also an active runner and work hard to attend to my own physical fitness and wellbeing

All this reflects my belief that prevention is just as important as treatment.
