Since 1992, in a family practice since 1965

Languages

Consultations are in Punjabi, Hindi or English, whichever is easiest for you. You can move between them as you speak.

What he sees, and what he refers

Concerns he assesses

• Digestion: acidity, gas, constipation, loose motions.
• Piles and fissure.
• Men's health and women's health.
• Skin and hair.
• Joints and back pain.
• Stress and sleep.
• Low energy, or difficulty gaining weight.

When he refers you elsewhere. He tells you plainly, and says why, if your symptoms need:

• an examination or test the clinic cannot do;
• an urgent hospital assessment;
• a surgeon's opinion; or
• another specialist, for example a cardiologist, a urologist, a gynaecologist or a gastroenterologist.

A referral is part of an honest consultation, not a failure of one.

Emergencies are not seen by appointment. Severe pain, heavy bleeding, chest pain, breathlessness or an injury need in-person emergency care now.

How he works

• History first. How long, how often, what makes it better or worse; sleep, appetite, digestion, stress, medicines, alcohol and tobacco; your routine and food; any earlier reports; and what you have already tried.
• Examination only when it helps, and explained before it starts.
• An answer you can understand: what is likely going on, what can help and what will not, and what happens next. If a test or another specialist is the better next step, he says so.
• No medicine before assessment. If a medicine is advised, you are told what it is and why. This website is not a shop: treatment is chosen for you only after a consultation.
• A routine you can keep. Every consultation includes your personalised Dinacharya (daily-routine) guide, prepared after the consultation.

He does not give a timeline before he has assessed you, and he does not promise outcomes. What he can promise is a careful assessment and a straight answer.
