While studying in medical college, she was totally inspired by a Pediatric Doctor who cared for children with the utmost love and responsibility and brought a blissful smile on children and their parent’s faces. That’s when she decided to be a pediatrician!

“Being a pediatrician never lets you forget your childhood days and early motherhood days. I can connect to my patients, so well, at all levels; a child’s level, a parent of a newborn , a parent of a naughty toddler and also a parent of an adolescent. Since I personally have gone through all these stages with my own children; I can understand the concerns of most of the parents and also the behavior of their children.” “Being a Community General Pediatrician, I get to see babies 1-2 days after their discharge from the hospital. Just like any of their family member bonds with the child, I get to bond as a pediatrician. The beautiful part of it is, the child grows right in front of my eyes, just like my own kids. It makes me feel I have more than 2 kids.”
