How I can help
Everyday care, and the unexplained
From a stubborn cough to a fever no one can explain, these are the reasons people most often come to see me.
Fevers and infections that won't go away
Dengue, typhoid, TB, urine or chest infections, or a fever that has gone on for weeks. I look for the cause, not just the next antibiotic.
Fever and infection care →Day-to-day health problems
Coughs and colds, stomach upsets, headaches, body pain and tiredness. Small problems deserve a proper look too.
General physician care →Sugar, BP, cholesterol and weight
Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and weight gain need steady care and regular review, so they don't quietly damage the heart, kidneys or eyes.
Diabetes care →Tests and symptoms that don't make sense
Reports that don't match how you feel, or symptoms that several visits haven't explained. Bring the whole file and we'll go through it together.

About
Hello, I am Dr. Dilip.
I studied medicine at Government Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai, trained in internal medicine in India and the UK, and have spent 14 years looking after adults with complicated illness. Today I'm a Senior Consultant at MGM Healthcare and Dr. Mehta's Hospitals.
My evenings belong to my patients.
Every other hour, to my students.
At Cerebellum Academy I turn difficult medicine into something simple enough to remember, for young doctors across India. Each of them will go on to care for thousands of patients I'll never meet. That is my part in building better healthcare for India.
