His key area of work has been neonatal intensive care/ critical care. His key achievements in his practice have been building a relationship of 24x7 support with families of sick children, taking away fear and sensationalizing of illnesses. An ardent follower of AAA initiative of IAP to Avoid Antibiotic Abuse. Organizing cost-effective pediatric care, and cost awareness of every intervention is his principle. A member of International Lactation Consultants association (ILCA), he wholeheartedly supports breastfeeding promotion and trains new moms in breastfeeding, and moms with lactation and breastfeeding problems. Trained in Pediatric Nutrition with a PGPN degree from Boston University, his counselling on starting Complementary feeding, preparing baby food, detailed feeding behavior analysis, food refusal interventions, sustaining feeding by infants, food supplements and treatment of poor growth are his labour of love. He is big on Preventive and Anticipatory guidance -breastfeeding, complementary feeding, accident prevention in mobile kids, growth monitoring, sustaining healthy eating away from TV and iPads mobiles. Pushing drugs for everything after kids fall ill is the easiest money spinning habit of pediatricians, and he promotes an approach far removed from it. It is time-consuming, painstaking and indulgent sustained only by his passion as it has no pecuniary benefits-only a healthy childhood and fewer sick visits. Have some time on your hands, and please avoid checking on your mobile while in a consultation.

I am visiting India from SA and my child fell sick on a weekend,I searched him online and went with a mindset that he will check my child for max 4 mins write a long prescription which I won't have any idea about including antibiotics and that's about it. I was so wrong, upon enterance first thing I noticed was a sign which meant the doct doesn't believe in giving unnessary antibiotics. Then I saw a kids friendly clinic( with toys, aquarium a very friendly receptionist). My appointments started on time and like abroad the doct first checked weight and height and asked me the problem and listened to me patiently. He then advised me several things which is against everything you might have thing is right but it was the most useful information that I got. Almost life changing for the betterment of my kids. After an hour I just didn't walk away with the current problem solution but a life long lesson. He told me the pros and con of every medicin that I am going to administer.

Been with Dr Ojha for about a year now for my kid. I have consulted a lot paediatricians but have found Dr Ojha's approach highly professional combined with anecdotes understood by common man. His profound experience is reflected in the way of his investigation which may seem casual for the untrained eye but highly details and spot on. He give ample time to hear each question we have for him about our child ranging from ailments to nutrition to psychological development and guides us. The major fear I always had was to bring up a child in this world in a cess pool of over-medicines, antibiotics and processed nutrition was quickly alleviated by him as his approach was more on developing a stronger biological system rather than rely on external stimulus on ailments. I really appreciate him, his plethora of experience and his approach in treating his patients; and also handling inquisitive and overly protective parents. A deep and profound thanks Dr Ojha for your guidance and help.

more..Everyone has their own point of view towards a doctor. I had a bad experience with Dr. Ojha. He is very talkative and explain things which can be a good thing. First of all it took like half hour to get through the waiting. And then we were stuck for 1 hour in his cabin. We went their to get medication for our 10 months old having abscess and we also asked him if the baby is having ear infection. He didn't check the baby thoroughly. He just played with him and said yes he has pain in both the ears and dragged us to his favorite topic nutrition. He said your baby is malnoutritioned as he doesn't have teeth yet. Rather than prescribing the supplements he started shaming us. I think this is a very wrong approach towards your patients. We know you are a doctor but that doesn't mean you will keep shaming and judging first time parents. He told me that my baby doesn't need any milk through out the day and i should breastfeed only to soothe him at night. Milk is nothing but water so you should not give him milk even once in a day!! He said i give him my breastmilk to satisfy myself as he doesn't require any milk at this time. I tried to tell him that i am expressing milk since he was born. He was not letting me explain only. I wanted to tell him how much hard work is included in expressing the milk as you have to pump throughout the day and wash n no of parts. It couldn't be satisfying in anyway.
