She manages chronic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis B and C, autoimmune liver diseases, portal hypertension and pediatric liver disease, and also performs ERCP and GI stenting and manages pancreatic cysts.

Her route into hepatology ran through paediatrics, which explains the paediatric liver work on that list.

★★★★★

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
