About Me
I am a Paediatric Neurologist with over 7 years of dedicated experience in Paediatrics and Paediatric Neurology. I provide comprehensive neurological care for infants, children, and adolescents with both common and complex neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions. My approach is calm, evidence-based, and family-centred, ensuring that every child receives personalized and compassionate care. Beyond treating symptoms, I focus on improving functional outcomes, quality of life, and long-term developmental progress. I strongly believe in early intervention, empowering parents, and maintaining consistent follow-up to help each child reach their full potential. My goal is to create a supportive environment where families feel heard, informed, and confident about their child's care and neurological well-being.
I completed my MBBS from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, one of Karnataka's oldest and most reputed government medical institutions, known for its strong clinical training and high patient volume, which provided me with extensive hands-on experience across a wide range of medical conditions.
I then pursued my MD in Paediatrics at Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, a well-established tertiary care teaching hospital recognized for its comprehensive paediatric services and diverse clinical exposure, which helped me develop a solid foundation in managing both routine and complex childhood illnesses.
Following my post-graduation, I worked for over three years in various medical colleges and teaching hospitals, which helped me further strengthen my clinical skills and gain practical experience in caring for children across diverse healthcare settings.
With a growing interest in child neurology, I further completed a Fellowship in Paediatric Neurology through Indian Academy of Pediatrics in association with Association of Paediatric Neurologists (IAP–AOPN). This specialized training provided focused exposure to the evaluation and management of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders affecting the developing brain.
