Dr. Sanjay Sachdev (MBBS, MNAMS) is a senior consulting physician with two clinics in South Delhi — Friends Colony East and Maharani Bagh.

A physician (also called a consulting physician, internal medicine specialist or MD Medicine) is the first doctor most adults should see for any new illness. Unlike a specialist, a physician looks at the whole picture — your symptoms, medications, lab reports, lifestyle and history together — and either treats you directly or routes you to the right specialist. For 80% of adult complaints, a good physician is the only doctor you need.
Why patients choose Dr. Sachdev as their 'physician near me'
Three reasons, consistently: (1) a senior doctor with 35+ years of internal medicine experience — never a rotating panel; (2) two clinic locations in the heart of South Delhi, so 'near me' is genuinely near you; (3) continuity — the same doctor sees you on every visit, knows your history, and stays involved when you need a specialist. MBBS + MNAMS (National Academy of Medical Sciences) credentials.
