Dr. Supriya Suresh Shinde

An affluent 14-year-old boy with severe asthma, previously managed by various specialists, came to Dr. Shinde after an exercise-induced attack led to ICU admission. She identified uncontrolled GERD as a trigger, initiated a combination of biologics and lifestyle changes, and within three months, he was competing in state-level swimming competitions with no further exacerbations.

A 3-year-old from a middle-class family, adopted from Nepal, had chronic cough and failure to thrive. Dr. Shinde diagnosed primary ciliary dyskinesia after nasal nitric oxide testing and electron microscopy of bronchial cells. She started daily chest physiotherapy and prophylactic antibiotics, leading to steady weight gain and reduced infections over six months. (Patient of Dr. Suresh)

A 10-year-old boy whose parents are IT professionals presented with mysterious episodic cyanosis and wheezing. Dr. Shinde uncovered plastic bronchitis secondary to congenital heart disease (previously undiagnosed), coordinated with cardiologists for intervention, and managed airway clearance with dornase alfa, resulting in symptom resolution in four weeks.

A 16-year-old girl from a low-income single-parent household had persistent bronchiolitis obliterans post-adenovirus infection. Dr. Shinde initiated a tailored regimen of corticosteroids, azithromycin, and pulmonary rehabilitation, organizing free physiotherapy sessions. The patient showed gradual improvement over nine months, returning to school part-time. (Patient of Dr. Suresh)

A 7-year-old girl from a rural Karnataka village, whose family are daily wage laborers, presented with recurrent pneumonia unresponsive to multiple antibiotic courses. Dr. Shinde discovered an overlooked congenital lung cyst via CT scan, performed a minimally invasive thoracoscopic resection, and the child recovered fully within two weeks, with the hospital covering 80% of costs through a charity program.
