A personal message

“It’s a beautiful thing when a career & passion come together.”By the grace of almighty it could happen for me. After completion of my M.B.B.S. I graduated as a general practitioner in Bangalore. After completion of various diplomas around the world special interest towards nutritional medicine for a reason in which many diseases especially nutritional origin can be reversed. Over a period of time, combining preventive and evidence based practice with nutritional medicine I have seen great success stories in my patient. One question constantly running in my mind? “Does the same shoe size fit everyone with similar feet?”, answer is NO…but this approach doesn’t work well for medical treatment. 

When someone is diagnosed with some disease, diabetes for example, it simply means that they have a condition that propagates abnormal cells within their body. Even though the condition’s underlying cause and characteristics will differ from person to person, the course of treatment is rather consistent: patients are prescribed anti-diabetic medication. All diagnosed diabetic people can’t all be the same.

The origins of disease and disorder can obviously depend on a number of things, so building a full picture of a patient’s health enables a medical team to provide the best care possible. Doctors ought to consider data points like where someone is from, how physically active they are, any history of disease in the patient’s family, and the patient’s own medical history. For maximum completeness, they might even sample the patient’s advanced methods of tests to get a view into the inner mechanism that makes them who they are.

This is the thinking that drives PEN Clinic, also called personalized medicine. It shuns the “one size fits all” paradigm to see every patient exactly as they are — as an individual in need of specialized medical help.

 PEN Clinic is the tailoring of medical treatment to each patient’s unique characteristics. Just as people have their own unique identifying traits like height and hair color, identical medical conditions can manifest in their own unique ways. It only makes sense that doctors should tailor their treatment to the individual as well.
