Dr Athreya believes in taking time to truly understand his patients as individuals,
their circumstances, and what matters most to them, allowing care to be tailored in

and trauma. Dr Athreya finds it deeply rewarding to help people navigate difficult
periods in their lives and work towards improved wellbeing, both personally and
professionally.

chronic skin conditions in children, such as eczema, to the careful assessment and
removal of benign skin lesions and cysts, always with comfort and safety at the
forefront.
Outside of clinical practice, Dr Athreya enjoys an active lifestyle, including
marathon running, climbing, and keeping fit. He believes that happiness and health
are closely linked and strives to support his patients in leading healthy, balanced,
and fulfilling lives.
