"When I decided to become a surgeon, there were many who tried to convince me otherwise and others who tried to create obstacles to hinder my training and development. I began to doubt whether, as an Indian American woman, I truly belonged in this field.” (1/3)

Just finished my 7th year interviewing high school seniors applying to @Harvard. I really enjoy meeting with these young adults, learning about their passions and future aspirations! ⁣⁣A big thank you to Harvard College Admissions Office for the 𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭!

Thank you @ThiemeIntl for the feature and for publishing our research! @DrKontis @NinaLuMD @HopkinsMedicine @hopkins_ent @WPHospital @AAFPRS

I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the different interventions available in #aesthetic medicine, how I approach each patient, and what #patients should keep in mind when considering facial alterations! lnkd.in/edn7VBNG #medEd #shENT #beauty #WomenInSTEM

I will be building this new division in the Dept of Otolaryngology, integrating #aesthetics with the high quality patient care of this hospital system. ⁣ I look forward to providing personalized care to the patients of the greater #Westchester and NYC area! ✨

Thrilled to announce that I’ll be the new 𝘿𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨 & 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙮 at @WPHospital in Westchester, New York!⁣ I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the community that raised me. ⁣

@AkashKumarMD @JetBlue That’s terrible. Poor customer service @JetBlue especially with child safety involved!

Update: When I was finally able to show her the @JetBlue website, she said: “well that’s not the way it’s going to be on my flight” and walked the way.

@JetBlue: very disappointed in your flight attendant who harassed us on our flight to change our 2 year’s old car seat from rear-facing to forward despite that not being your policy.

Today’s my last day of #facialplasticsurgery fellowship. I had an incredible year of hands-on training & teaching, learning new rhinoplasty techniques to complex facial nerve reanimation cases & transformative gender affirmation surgeries. #repost @AnishaKumarMD #aafprs

How do patients and surgeons perceive facelift scars? Our study in @ThiemePlasticS addresses these nuances so patient & their surgeons can develop common surgical priorities. @DrKontis @NinaLuMD @AAFPRS @hopkins_ent

Today is my last day of fellowship and medical training. An incredible and arduous 4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, 5 years residency, 1 year fellowship… cheers to the LAST day of the 27th YEAR of school! ✌🏽 #ILookLikeASurgeon #surgeon #WomeninMedicine

“Gun control works on gun violence as surely as antibiotics do on bacterial infections,” Adam Gopnik wrote, in 2012. “The more guns there are in a country, the more gun murders and massacres of children there will be.” nyer.cm/SfpWhGo

On this International Transgender Day of Visibility, I am honored for the opportunity to perform gender affirmation surgery for our patients so they can live as they choose. #WeSeeYou #TransDayOfVisibility

#PaulFarmer was an icon in blending the fields of anthropology and medicine. After taking his class at #Harvard I was inspired to pursue my thesis in medical anthropology.

@AjvictoryMD Amazing! Inspires me to do the same!

Today for the first time ever I got the courage to ask for Bollywood music in my OR. Much to my surprise my team AND co surgeon were bumping along w/ the beat. Growing up in the US, I was bullied for expressing my culture & to cope I tried to assimilate. Today that changes.

Happy #NationalWomenPhysiciansDay ! Grateful to those who came before me so that I can say #ILookLikeASurgeon 😷👩‍⚕️🩺💁‍♀️
