Eighteen years of listening first

BIOGRAPHY

Eighteen years of listening first

Dr. Aditi Rao graduated from Osmania Medical College in 2001 and completed an MD in Internal Medicine at the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in 2005, followed by a senior residency in the department of medicine. Before founding Anvaya Clinic, Dr. Rao spent seven years as a consultant physician in multispeciality hospitals in Hyderabad, managing everything from complex diabetes and thyroid disease to infections and critical-care admissions. A Fellowship in Diabetology followed in 2016. Philosophy of care: medicine works best when patients understand it. Dr. Rao explains the why behind every test and prescription, prefers the fewest medicines that do the job, and treats lifestyle change as real treatment — not an afterthought.
