About

Philosophy of care

I want to help my patients enjoy life. I'm a person who cares about them as people, not just as patients. 

Also, I am a member of the breast cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. 

Why I entered medicine

As a child growing up in New Delhi, I always wanted to help people. I thought being a doctor was the best way to help. Both of my sisters became physicians too.

Personal interests

I enjoy listening to music, reading and spending time with my daughter.
