After qualifying for my medical degree(MBBS) in 1983, I worked among the poor tribals in the Western Ghats of Southern India for 6 years. I managed a 15 bedded hospital all by myself during this period and gained rich experience in treating common as well as exotic tropical diseases in the fields of medicine, surgery, paediatrics, gynaecology, obstetrics and dermatology. During this period, I also found time for social service activities. I am proud for being instrumental in setting up the first Voluntary Blood Donor's Directory in Wayanad, Kerala in 1985. As the project chairman in 1988 for the Lions Club International Community Marriage in Kalpetta I had the good fortune to find suitable spouses for 27 poor girls and get them married in a unique public function where 3 major religious ceremonies were performed in a single platform.

As the Kalpetta Jaycees (now Junior Chamber International ) President in 1987-88 I bagged 13 State Awards including the Best Social Service Activity, Best Training Programs, and second Best Chapter President of the State. I became the State Trainer of Indian Jaycees and conducted scores of Leadership, stress management and health education seminars for the lay public as well as professionals and students.

I obtained my post graduate degree MD in Dermatology & Venereology (Skin & Sexually Transmitted Diseases) after 3 years of intensive training  from Davangere Medical College, India. During this period my research articles were published in Indian Journal of Dermatology. I also wrote extensively about health issues in newspapers. After practicing for 4 years as Consultant Dermatologist in India, in 1996, I joined City Medical Centre, Ajman, UAE as Dermatologist & Venereologist where I have been working till date.

Intrigued by the effect of psyche on soma (mind over body), I have done an in-depth study of Stress, its effects on the mind and body and effective stress management techniques. I have qualified for a Diploma in Advanced Stress Management Techniques from Stonebridge Associated Colleges (UK) in 2006 and also has released a complete stress management program online, the "10 Days to Stress Free Life". I  also conduct regular stress management sessions as part of group therapy for my patients suffering from psychosomatic illnesses.

I am a holder of  Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine from American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and is set for my Board Certification in November, 2008. During the last 12 years, I have designed and edited 4 major websites related to my speciality and stress management.

Dermatologist & Venereologist with 25 years experience in clinical practice, mostly dermatology, cosmetology and sexually transmitted diseases.
