About Doctor

I did my Undergraduate and Postgraduate training (Internal Medicine) at CMCH Ludhiana. I got four distinctions and award for best work during internship in SPM.

I did my Oncology training at leading oncology centers in India (Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai for 6 months) and abroad (Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide Australia for 2 yrs and Flinders Medical Centre, Australia for 1 yr as Clinical Research Fellow).

I have expertise in managing adult patients with all types of solid tumors and those requiring palliative care. I have received dedicated training in Palliative care from Pallium India, Trivandrum and as part of CTC training by AIIMS New Delhi and Lien Foundation, Singapore. 

I am one of the founder members of “Can Fight Cancer Society” – an NGO formed in 2013 and dedicated to spread awareness against cancer. Established a Hospice centre - Sarprasti, for free nursing care of terminally ill cancer patients.
