His clinical expertise includes coronary angiography, primary angioplasty for acute heart attack and complex coronary interventions involving left-main disease, bifurcation lesions, chronic total occlusions and heavily calcified coronary blockages. He uses advanced intracoronary imaging and physiology technologies—including IVUS, OCT and FFR—to assess coronary lesions, guide treatment decisions and optimise angioplasty outcomes.

Patients commonly consult him for chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, abnormal ECG findings, reduced heart-pumping function, suspected heart attack, coronary blockages and second opinions. He communicates with patients in English, Hindi , Marathi , Tamil and Kannada with additional language proficiency to be added according to the hospital’s verified records.
