Practicing medicine is ultimately about responsibility-to patients, to outcomes, and to ethical decision-making. Over the years, my focus as a vascular and endovascular surgeon has been to provide evidence-based, patient-centric care for vascular conditions that often require long-term follow-up and careful intervention.
I was honoured to be recognised by Outlook in their Best Doctors list under the Vascular Surgery category. This recognition is meaningful to me as it reflects professional work evaluated beyond my own practice or institution.
About the Outlook Best Doctors Recognition
Outlook is a well-established national publication in India, and its Best Doctors listings are curated through editorial evaluation rather than self-submission or promotion.
Doctors featured in this list are reviewed based on:
-
Clinical experience and area of specialisation
-
Consistency in patient care
-
Peer recognition within the medical community
-
Ethical medical practice and outcomes
Being included in this list places responsibility on the doctor to continue maintaining these standards in daily clinical practice.
My Work in Vascular Surgery
My clinical work focuses on the diagnosis and management of vascular conditions that affect blood flow and limb health. These conditions often require timely intervention and careful selection of treatment methods.
Areas I routinely manage include:
In recent years, my practice in Bangalore has also expanded to include embolization-based vascular interventions, which are being increasingly considered for select patients as minimally invasive treatment options:
-
Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic knee pain related to osteoarthritis in patients who are not immediate surgical candidates, aimed at pain control through targeted vascular intervention.
-
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) as a uterus-preserving, non-surgical treatment option for women with symptomatic fibroids, performed after detailed evaluation and multidisciplinary discussion.
-
Targeted embolization procedures, including Thyroid Artery Embolization (TAE) and Varicocele Artery Embolization (VAE), offered in carefully selected cases following appropriate imaging and clinical assessment.
These procedures require precision, experience with image-guided techniques, and structured follow-up. With growing awareness of embolization therapies, I am seeing an increasing number of referrals for such minimally invasive vascular treatments in Bangalore.
Each intervention is planned with a focus on safety, evidence-based practice, and clear communication with patients regarding expected benefits and limitations.
What This Recognition Means to Me
While professional recognition is encouraging, it does not change the fundamentals of medical practice. Every consultation and procedure still demands the same level of diligence, clarity, and accountability.
For me, this acknowledgement serves as a reminder to:
-
Remain updated with evolving vascular techniques
-
Continue practicing ethical, evidence-based medicine
-
Maintain transparent communication with patients and families
Healthcare outcomes are rarely defined by a single intervention-they are built through consistent care and informed decision-making.
Practicing Vascular Care in Bangalore
Although the Outlook recognition is at a national level, my clinical practice remains rooted in Bangalore, where I consult and treat patients with a wide range of vascular conditions.
Practicing locally allows continuity of care, long-term follow-up, and direct engagement with patients who often require ongoing vascular management.
A Note to Patients
Choosing a vascular surgeon is an important decision, particularly for conditions that may affect mobility, circulation, or quality of life. Independent recognitions such as this may help patients feel reassured, but they should always be accompanied by open discussions, second opinions when needed, and a clear understanding of treatment options.
My approach has always been to guide patients with clarity, honesty, and medical reasoning-so they can make informed decisions about their care.
Closing
Being featured in Outlook’s Best Doctors list is an honour I acknowledge with humility. More importantly, it reinforces the responsibility I carry toward every patient who places their trust in my care.
