Shaped by the guidance of exceptional mentors throughout her education and career, Dr. Hiteshi holds scientific integrity and ethical practice at the core of everything she does. She places great emphasis on meaningful patient education, empowering individuals to understand their condition and make informed decisions about their own care. She is equally committed to raising the standard of ophthalmic practice by challenging unethical and exploitative patterns that can undermine patient trust. A firm believer in lifelong learning, she is dedicated to staying at the forefront of advances in ophthalmology and bringing current, evidence-based eye care back to Ahilyanagar.
