Hello and welcome!
I’m Dr. R. Lakshmi, a Pediatrician and General Physician with over 35 years of experience in caring for children and families. After dedicating a major part of my professional journey to the Indian Railways Health Services, where I served as the Additional Chief Medical Superintendent, I now continue my practice here in Thanjavur, offering the same level of committed, compassionate care to my community.
My passion for medicine began early in life, and it led me to complete my MBBS and later specialize in Pediatrics (MD). Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for thousands of children, supporting parents through everything from routine checkups to complex medical challenges. My approach has always been simple: treat every child like my own, and listen to every parent like a friend.
During my time with the Railways, I was honored to receive two awards—one for the Best Maintained Hospital under my leadership, and another Individual Award for Outstanding Patient Service, which I received twice. These recognitions are deeply meaningful to me, but the real reward has always been the trust and smiles of the families I’ve served.
I’m also a life member of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA). Staying connected with these organizations allows me to keep learning and growing, which is something I truly value in this ever-evolving field of medicine.
At my clinic in TPS Nagar, Thanjavur, I provide a range of services designed to support both children and adults. Apart from regular pediatric and general medical consultations, I also offer video consultations, nutrition counseling, and guidance on yoga and wellness. I strongly believe that true health comes not just from medicine, but from a balanced lifestyle, good nutrition, and preventive care.
Whether you’re a new parent looking for guidance, or someone simply seeking honest, thorough medical advice—you’ll always find a listening ear and trusted support here. My goal is to create a space where families feel safe, cared for, and well-informed at every stage of their health journey.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your family’s health and well-being.
