Two specialists, one trusted clinic
Established in 2016 in Kilpauk, Chennai — a focused practice where dermatology and rheumatology work side by side.
Dr. B. K. Aarthi
Consultant Dermatologist & Cosmetologist
MBBS, MD (Dermatology)
Dr. B. K. Aarthi is a highly skilled dermatologist trained in advanced cosmetic and clinical procedures. She completed her MBBS at I.R.T. Perundurai Medical College (2006) and MD in Dermatology at Stanley Medical College, Chennai (2011). She is recognised for her expertise in lasers, aesthetic dermatology and patient-centred care.
“Healthy skin is the foundation of confidence — my practice pairs evidence-based dermatology with gentle, individualised care so every patient leaves feeling heard.”
Areas of expertise
Dr. S. Sriram
Consultant Rheumatologist
MBBS, MD (General Medicine), DM (Rheumatology)
Dr. S. Sriram is a super-specialist rheumatologist with over a decade of experience in treating complex inflammatory and autoimmune joint disorders. He trained in Internal Medicine before sub-specialising in Rheumatology, and is deeply invested in long-term disease management for every patient he sees.
“Joint pain should never be dismissed as "just age". Early, precise diagnosis and a clear treatment plan can change the trajectory of an autoimmune illness.”

Honest words, unedited
“Prompt appointments, clear follow-ups, and genuine care. The dual-specialty setup saves so much running around.”
“Came in for pigmentation, left with a proper skincare routine and a treatment plan I can afford. No upselling.”
“Dr. Sriram explains complex things in simple terms. My mother finally understands her lupus and how to live with it.”
“The laser sessions were painless and the results are visibly noticeable. Friendly staff and very clean clinic.”
“I was misdiagnosed for three years before meeting Dr. Sriram. Within a month I had the right diagnosis and a plan that actually worked.”
“Dr. Aarthi took the time to actually understand my skin type before recommending anything. Six months in and my acne is under control.”
