Years Experience

Since 2005, I have been working as a Consultant Dermatologist at the Institute of Skin Diseases, Karachi. In this capacity, I provide specialized dermatological care, manage complex and chronic skin disorders, and contribute to the training and mentorship of upcoming dermatologists.

My long-standing commitment to the field reflects both my clinical expertise and dedication to the advancement of dermatological healthcare.

I did my postgraduate diploma in Dermatology (D.Derm) from the University of London, which laid the foundation for my extensive career in dermatology spanning over 26 years.

I began my professional journey as a Senior Registrar in the Department of Dermatology at Baqai Medical University, Karachi, where I was actively involved in clinical practice and academic responsibilities. I then served as a Dermatologist at Al Qunfidha Hospital under the Ministry of Health, Saudi Arabia, for five years. This role enriched my experience by exposing me to a diverse range of dermatological conditions and international healthcare standards.
