MBBS, MRCP (UK), CCT - Cardiology
Interventional Cardiology
I have persued my post graduation and specialty training in UK. I am very excited to be back in India after 13 years. I am looking forward to work closely with the medical community here to improve the health care for the patients in India.
I have successfully completed MBBS, MRCP (UK), and MD (Cardiovascular Medicine Research, Dundee, UK). I was awarded Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in Cardiology from the prestigious University of Oxford, UK (first Indian to achieve this feat). I have obtained a Fellowship in cardiovascular research from UK and an Advance Interventional fellowship from Royal Bournemouth Hospital (UK). I am accredited by British Society of Cardiology to perform adult echocardiogram; and also an Advanced Life Support (ALS) Instructor for Resuscitation Council of UK.
Since returning back to India, I have worked as a Fulltime Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre, Girgaon, Mumbai.
I have now set up my own clinic and have started visiting other hospitals (Saifee, Breach Candy, Jaslok and Cumballa Hill) as a visiting cardiologist.
I have vast experience in both general and interventional cardiology.

• Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA)
• Using adjunctive devices such as fine cross catheter, corsair catheter, guideliners, CrossBoss and Stringray system etc.
• Pacemaker implantation and AICD implantation. (Have implanted first leadless pacemaker in west India)
The General Cardiology experience includes:
• Transthoracic echocardiogram, Trans-esophageal echocardiogram, IABP (Intra Aortic Balloon Pump) insertion, Pericardiocentesis
