About the Doctor
I did my MD in Paediatrics in 1995 from Patna Medical College and then went to work in Paediatrics in UK. After doing my MRCP and FRCPCH, I have been a Senior Paediatric Consultant in UK with Paed Neurology specialization for 18 years. I have a wealth of experience of treating children with all kinds of developmental problems and rare genetic, metabolic & neurological conditions like Autism, Hyper Activity (ADHD), Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Neuro Muscular Diseases. I was also the College tutor of The Royal College of Paediatrics & Child Health (RCPCH) and was the Vice-Chair of the UK assessment board, to assess 5 years post MRCPCH senior Paediatricians, to see if trainees were ready to become Consultant. I came back to India in July 2020, as one of my lifelong ambition was to develop an excellent quality multi-disciplinary Paediatric neurology team and service, in my hometown of Faridabad.
