Biography

I always wanted to be a doctor, to help people and find a cure for cancer. Over the past 25 years in the medical field, I have worked tirelessly to achieve this goal. I worked in some of the premier institutes of HPB surgery all over the world, gathering experience and knowledge to give my patients, the best possible care in accordance with latest advances and innovations in the treatment of liver cirrhosis and cancers of the liver, pancreas and biliary system, especially the use of Robotic surgery, which offers the advantages of smaller cuts, less pain, faster recovery and better cosmesis. I firmly believe there are no shortcuts to good health. Healthy living habits and healthy mind is the only way to prevent diseases. It is my mission to provide my patients with a holistic approach towards prevention and treatment of diseases. I also strive to listen to my patients, communicate effectively and treat them with empathy, kindness and compassion.

My Mantra

Let’s build a healthy tomorrow, together, one step at a time!!
