Dr. Barkha Pandey

An 18-month-old girl from a migrant worker family arrived with severe malnutrition and developmental delays. Dr. Pandey created a customized nutritional rehabilitation plan involving local affordable foods and coordinated with community health workers for follow-up, leading to significant weight gain and developmental catch-up within 6 months.

A 14-year-old competitive swimmer developed unexplained fatigue and poor performance. Dr. Pandey diagnosed overtraining syndrome with underlying iron deficiency. She designed a gradual return-to-training protocol with nutritional supplementation, and the athlete returned to competition-level performance in 8 weeks.

A 5-year-old from a remote village presented with mysterious seizures that local doctors had misdiagnosed as epilepsy. Dr. Pandey identified it as a rare genetic disorder through advanced genetic testing and initiated targeted therapy, dramatically reducing seizure frequency within weeks.

A newborn from a twin pregnancy, born prematurely to a single mother, developed feeding difficulties. Dr. Pandey implemented a specialized feeding protocol using paced bottle-feeding techniques and provided extensive maternal education, enabling successful home discharge after 3 weeks.

A 7-year-old boy from an affluent family presented with recurrent abdominal pain and school refusal. Dr. Pandey discovered it was anxiety-related after ruling out physical causes. She implemented play therapy and family counseling instead of medication, resulting in complete symptom resolution within 3 months.
