From being an average student to becoming a gold medalist, Dr. Sahil Parmar topped the Department of Medicine during his post-graduation and ranked first in the entire state of Maharashtra during his DM studies in Gastroenterology. He has been dedicated to providing his best services to patients.

Dr. Sahil Parmar serves as a Consultant Gastroenterologist in the Department of Gastroenterology at the Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Udaipur. He has been working here for the last two years.

Dr. Parmar explains that at PIMS, they treat all diseases related to the stomach, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine. They have an endoscopy suite equipped with advanced scopes, including an endoscope, colonoscope, and ERCP.

Dr. Sahil earned his MBBS degree from SMS Medical College, Jaipur. He then completed his post-graduation at Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner. To specialise in Gastroenterology, he completed his DM (Doctorate of Medicine) at GMC Nagpur. As this field involves various interventions, it interested him the most.

Born and raised in Udaipur, Dr. Sahil completed all his schooling there itself. He reveals he was an average student until the 10th grade. After finishing school, he moved to Kota to prepare for the PMT exam. After a year, he gained admission to SMS Medical College. Although he was not a class topper in college, he scored well enough to pursue post-graduation. During his PG, he topped his batch in the Department of Medicine. While pursuing his DM in Gastroenterology, he secured first rank in the state of Maharashtra and was awarded a gold medal.

Dr. Sahil says his mother has been a constant source of inspiration for him. She is a government teacher, and he admires how efficiently she handles everything. He has learned from her how to handle different situations and to stay motivated to pursue what you like.

To all young doctors, he advises them to observe your patients carefully and note down their proper history, as this is the most basic part of learning from graduation to super-specialization. He emphasises that while you will learn all the advanced endoscopy procedures, the core is physical and clinical knowledge, which you will develop through your studies.

Dr. Parmar feels that youngsters today are increasingly driven towards addictions, whether in happiness or sadness. Instead of indulging in such activities, he advises them to spend time with their families and stay away from smoking, alcohol, and drugs, as these habits become hazardous to health over time.
