Sanjay Kumari
I passionately believe in providing high quality, world class and safe care to all of my patients. I promote preventative care, which is an important part of the overall health of women. I endeavor to look after the clinical needs of the women from adolescence till late menopause and beyond, along with the emotional aspects of their health.
Being a mother myself and constantly balancing the personal and professional aspects of my life, I have developed patience, fortitude and compassion to care for and understand a woman’s needs at various stages in her life. I work in partnership with my patients and guide them through difficult decision making processes by providing them with up-to date information while respecting their wishes.
