Consultant Physician for Vasant Vihar, Thane West
Vasant Vihar is an established Pokhran Road No 2 neighbourhood with a good number of long-settled families and older residents. Elderly care is a common reason for consultation here — reviewing a long medication list, checking mobility and memory, and cutting down on the number of separate specialists an older patient has to travel to see.
Getting here: Under a kilometre west along Pokhran Road No 2, past the Vasant Vihar stretch.
Dr. Sagar Punjabi is M.B.B.S, M.D. (Internal Medicine), DNB and MNAMS, with over 10 years treating patients in Mumbai and Thane. He consults in three roles, all from the same clinic:
Physician in Vasant Vihar
Vasant Vihar's older buildings mean a fair share of consultations start as a routine complaint and turn up something that needed catching — which is what a general physician is for.
As a consultant physician he handles fever and infections, chest and breathing symptoms, thyroid, liver and lung disease, and the general complaints that need a diagnosis before anyone decides which specialist is required. An ECG can be done in the same visit. See general consultation and fever & infections.
Diabetologist in Vasant Vihar
Long-standing diabetes with the complications that come after fifteen or twenty years is common here; screening the heart, kidneys and eyes matters more than the sugar number alone.
Diabetes and blood pressure are managed together — sugar control, medication review, diet guidance, and screening for the heart, kidney, eye and foot complications that follow years of uncontrolled diabetes. See diabetes & B.P. and thyroid.
Geriatrician in Vasant Vihar
This is one of the strongest catchments for geriatric care — reviewing a long medication list and cutting it down where it can safely be cut.
Geriatric care means one holistic review of an older patient\'s health, mobility, memory and medication list, rather than separate trips to several specialists. Adult vaccination — flu, pneumonia, shingles — is part of the same visit. See elderly care and vaccination of adults.
