Dr. Sagarika Mukherjee

A 45-year-old corporate executive, previously marathon-fit, developed sudden weight gain, moon facies, and hypertension. Dr. Mukherjee identified Cushing's syndrome caused by an adrenal adenoma. Following laparoscopic adrenalectomy and gradual steroid tapering, the patient returned to running within 6 months, though requiring lifelong hormonal monitoring.

A 28-year-old transgender woman on hormone therapy presented with unexplained fatigue and abnormal lipid profiles. Dr. Mukherjee discovered a complex endocrine interplay between prescribed hormones and underlying metabolic syndrome. She crafted a personalized regimen balancing gender-affirming care with metabolic health, achieving optimal results through close collaboration with the patient's mental health team.

A 62-year-old retired schoolteacher from a middle-class family struggled with brittle diabetes despite multiple insulin regimens. Dr. Mukherjee implemented continuous glucose monitoring and discovered dawn phenomenon patterns. By adjusting basal rates and incorporating evening exercise, she achieved stable HbA1c of 6.2% without hypoglycemic episodes.

A 19-year-old college student with PCOD presented with severe hirsutism and metabolic abnormalities. Rather than standard oral contraceptives, Dr. Mukherjee prescribed insulin sensitizers alongside lifestyle modifications. Within 9 months, the patient achieved regular cycles, significant weight loss, and improved self-esteem through this metabolic-focused approach.

A 12-year-old girl from a rural West Bengal village presented with severe growth retardation, standing 3 standard deviations below her age norm. Dr. Mukherjee diagnosed her with a rare pituitary adenoma causing growth hormone deficiency. After successful endoscopic resection and carefully monitored hormone replacement therapy, she gained 8 cm in height over 18 months and returned to school with renewed confidence.
