As a practicing plastic surgeon, every patient I see represents a unique challenge this specialty has to offer and I take up these challenges with relish knowing fully well that the years of training has equipped me well, to handle such challenges.After completion of my formal training in plastic surgery I gained experience by working under the masters of the field in India and with that confidence I came to the UAE in 2017 and singlehandedly built up the department of Plastic & Reconstructive surgery at Universal hospital, Abu Dhabi. I am currently working in Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, Abu Dhabi which is a tertiary care hospital and handles all types of cases including hand surgery, microvascular surgery, burn reconstructive surgery, facial plastic surgery, body contouring and cosmetic surgery.
