Dr. Rajan T.D. is an alumnus of Mumbai
University and practices as a Specialist in Skin & STD at Andheri
(Mumbai) since 1991. He had been a Lecturer at K.B.Bhabha Hospital
before venturing into private practice. He has been practising in the
north-west suburbs of Mumbai and is now busy running two clinics in
Andheri.
He is an expert in all skin
diseases, diseases of hair, nails and sexually transmitted diseases. He
is a keen listener and allows his patients to communicate. Most skin
diseases require Counselling as they are chronic and sometimes,
disfiguring causing tremendous anxiety. Dr. Rajan takes his
responsibility very seriously and explains in detail to his patients
about how to cope with them even if cure is slow to come.
- From early years of his medical career in government hospitals he observed that busy doctors are quick to hand over prescriptions even before the patient has explained his case. In dermatology many skin diseases do not have quick solutions and the patient needs to know why. Dr. Rajan lays emphasis on this aspect of his practice and counsels every patient about his skin or sex related condition. He calls it "Participatory Therapy" wherein the patient participates in his cure!
-
Dr. Rajan regularly writes in
various websites and periodicals on several social issues as well as
those relating to the pharmaceutical industry. He was the Souvenir
Editor for Asian Dermatology Congress 2016. He has authored a chapter in
the Textbook of Cosmetic Dermatology: A Practical and Evidence-Based
Approach and has several publications in numerous websites, newspapers
and periodicals. He simplifies complex skin disorders into simple
language making it easy for the reader to understand their disease.

He regularly lectures doctors on
skin and sexually transmitted diseases. In addition he advises
Pharmaceutical industries on drug development, promotion and marketing
