My Dermatosurgery Training & Credentials
Medicine doesn't stand still, and neither do I. Here is a look at the continuous training that helps me provide safer, more precise surgical results for my patients.
I was honored to be selected for the ACS(I) Dermatosurgery training under the guidance of the esteemed Dr. Yogesh Bhingradia. This branch of dermatology has always been a passion of mine, and this intensive training has profoundly enhanced my surgical skills.
Receiving my certificate after completing a transformative month of dermatosurgery training. This experience was not just about updating my skills but also about gaining a renewed perspective on patient care, for which I am incredibly grateful.
Learning from a master is an invaluable experience. Here, I am observing a procedure closely during my dermatosurgery fellowship. This hands-on training ensures I can offer the latest and most effective surgical techniques to my patients.
Dermatosurgery requires precision and practice. Here, our group is working on suturing techniques. This foundational skill is critical for ensuring minimal scarring and the best possible cosmetic outcomes for my patients after a procedure.

About this collection
Medical school was just the beginning. My recent fellowship in dermatosurgery under Dr. Yogesh Bhingradia wasn't just about adding a credential to my wall. It was about hands-on practice in precision suturing and surgical technique. When you come to me for a procedure, this is the training that ensures your healing is faster, your scarring is minimized, and your results look natural.
In dermatology, the difference between a good result and a great one often comes down to the smallest details: the tension of a suture, the depth of a laser pass, or the specific angle of a biopsy.
I believe my patients deserve the most current, evidence-based care. That is why I actively pursue fellowships like the ACS(I) Dermatosurgery program. It allows me to step away from the clinic to learn from the best, observe complex cases, and refine my skills away from the pressure of daily practice.
Why this matters for your skin:
- Precision: Whether it is a vitiligo surgery or scar revision, technical precision reduces the risk of complications.
- Safety: Understanding the latest surgical protocols means I can perform procedures with higher confidence and better sterility.
- Perspective: Learning alongside other experts gives me a broader view of how to approach difficult conditions that don't always respond to standard medication.
My practice is built on science, not trends. This dedication to lifelong learning ensures that when I give you a treatment plan, it is backed by both my years of experience and the latest surgical advancements.
