Who I Am

A Surgeon Committed to Exceptional Cancer Care

I am a senior surgical oncologist with over 18 years of experience, trained at two of India’s most respected institutions — Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, and JIPMER.

My work has taken me across India and beyond, allowing me to care for patients from more than 50 countries, each with their own unique stories, fears, hopes, and expectations. I have performed over 8,500 complex surgeries across breast, gastrointestinal, gynaecological, head and neck, urological and thoracic cancers.

As a Director of Surgical Oncology at MIOT Hospital, Chennai, for over 10 years, I helped build advanced cancer care programs, including robotic surgery, organ-preserving approaches, targeted therapies, and multidisciplinary care. Currently, I am shaping the future of cancer care at SRM Prime Hospitals, Ramapuram, Chennai, in the capacity of Clinical Lead and Senior Consultant Dept of Surgical Oncology.

Cancer shakes every part of a person’s life. The word alone brings fear. I’m here to replace fear with fact, clarity and hope – offering care that is scientifically precise, yet deeply human. I believe in protecting dignity, comfort, and emotional wellbeing just as much as treating the disease.

Comprehensive Support

How I Support You — At Every Stage

From diagnosis to recovery, I’m with you every step of the way, providing personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

Newly Diagnosed / Concerned About Symptoms

If you’ve just received a diagnosis — or are worried about a possible cancer — I help you understand what’s happening, confirm the diagnosis, and plan the next steps with clarity and calm.

Exploring Treatment Options and Surgery

If you’ve been advised surgery or need a second opinion, I help you understand your options and choose the safest, most effective treatment for your condition.

Ongoing Care, Follow-Up, or Support

If you’re already on treatment or living beyond cancer, I provide continued guidance, follow-up care, and support — always focused on quality of life, not just disease control.

How I Care

Patient-Centered Approach

For me, cancer care is never just a clinical journey — it is a deeply personal one. What defines my approach is not only what I do, but how I do it:

We Listen

I take time to listen — to your fears, your goals, and your priorities.

Clear Guidance

I explain every option clearly, in simple language.

Decisions Together

We make decisions together, never in isolation.

Family Support

I involve your family members, when you want them included.

Expert Collaboration

I collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure you receive the most appropriate and advanced care.

Living Well

I prioritise quality of life, not just survival — because how you live matters just as much as how long you live.
