Sadhana Proactive Clinic is Dr Kamini D Lakhiani’s dream clinic. This would not have been possible without the blessing of her spiritual Guruji, Parents, Patients and her well-wishers.

She started her Medical journey from Sion Hospital from where she got her MBBS degree, and then moved on to working in Nair Hospital in the endocrine department under Dr. Prema Vertaki & Dr. K.D.Nihalani.

Realizing that treating, helping, educating, and counseling diabetic patients was her passion, she started working with S.L.Raheja Hospital as a Clinical Associate. Being a go getter by nature, she did not restrict herself to clinical work only. She grabbed the opportunity to do research work shoulder to shoulder with Dr. B.S.Raheja on the topic of Omega 3 fatty acids, which has been published in the “journals of diabetic care”.

She has also been fortunate enough to attain a specialized training in medical and surgical management of diabetic foot & its care with non-other than Dr. Arun Bal.

She was one of the very few doctors who got the chance to research on it along with Dr. Nadeem Rais at his Chowpatty Medical Clinic. This is by far the latest development in the management for juvenile diabetes-type 1(insulin requiring diabetics), their insulin monitoring and techniques.
