I am an internal medicine physician with professional interests in cardiovascular care, geriatric medicine, diabetes, travel medicine and preventive care.
Hometown: Ahmedabad, India
Something I have learned from my patients is: that many do their own research or self-education regarding their health conditions and share it during visits. It not only makes me a good listener, but also encourages me to stay up-to-date with the latest treatment guidelines.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: conquering varieties of medical conditions in a diverse patient population with their own treatment preferences. I find it very rewarding to bring my patients to a better state of health; granted that route might not be easy, but I will always be there to help.
My favorite book is: the autobiography of Mahatma Gandhiji. This book is an example of simplicity, honesty and truth.
A fun fact about me is: that I am a good cook and like to share my recipes with patients, offering healthier diet choices.
The best things I have done for my health are: always eating breakfast in the morning and going for an evening walk.
