After basic medical training at St. John’s Medical College in Bangalore, India, entered accredited surgical training within the National Health Service Hospitals in England, United Kingdom. This was achieved after licensing exams held by the General Medical Council’s Professional and Linguistics Assessment Board.

Remained on the contributory staff at Creighton University for six years until 1997 and entered into private practice in that year and started a fulfilling and satisfying solo practice in 2000 which I ended in May 2018 due to ever increasing challenges in medical rules and regulations besides staffing issues.

Having grown up in Indian Naval bases I have some degree of understanding of needs of the veterans I serve.
