Dr Poddar believes wholeheartedly in the importance of increasing confidence and knowledge among her patients. She endeavours to explain every step she takes in her consultations to ensure that her patients’ expectations are managed and achieved. Dr Poddar also spends time widening her already vast knowledge of aesthetics by attending masterclasses and conferences all around the world. Recently she was invited to be a key speaker at the Royal Bank of Scotland entrepreneurial accelerator program which was streamed live to all RBS business customers throughout the UK. Dr Poddar believes that it is crucial for her patients to come away feeling that they are the best possible version of themselves, both in terms of results and their own personal confidence levels.
