DR. SANTOSH R: Making a Dramatic Impact on the Patients' Lives through a Holistic Approach to Endocrinology Care

Owing to the sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy food intake, increased mental stress and tobacco & alcohol consumption, an increased number of youth today fall prey to lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and many others

Despite seeming simple at first, these disorders become the root cause of much more complicated health conditions such as heart and kidney disease in the long run, which has a very adverse impact on other bodily functions. As a result, we are seeing a heightened demand for skilled endocrinologists who are capable of understanding the root cause of a health condition and accordingly provide treatment in such a way that the patient recovers holistically.

Dr. R Santosh (Co-Founder & Endocrinologist, Magna Centres for Obesity, Diabetes and Endocrinology) is one such highly qualified endocrinologist who is wellrenowned across the medical fraternity for his profound subject matter expertise and patient-centric approach. Having completed his MBBS from BJ Medical College, Pune, Dr. Santosh went on to pursue MD in Internal Medicine of JIPMER Pondicherry. To further hone his skill sets and satiate his hunger for knowledge, he then took-up DM with specialization in Endocrinology from PGIMER, Chandigarh. Later, he shifted to Hyderabad and joined Apollo Hospital Group as the Consultant Endocrinologist of Apollo Sugar Clinics. Since the center was a new setup, Dr Santosh also gained significant exposure to other admin related functions apart from his usual role as a doctor. However, after working there for three years, he moved out of Apollo and setup his own venture named Magna Centers for Obesity, Diabetes & Endocrinology in 2013 along with three other fellow endocrinologists.
