About Dr. Preema Sinha

Dr. (Col) Preema Sinha is a senior dermatologist with over 21 years of experience, currently practicing at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in New Delhi. She has built her reputation on managing a wide spectrum of skin conditions — from stubborn chronic diseases like psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema to cosmetic concerns such as acne scars, pigmentation, and hair loss. Patients who have struggled to find answers elsewhere often find clarity and relief under her care.

Dr. Sinha trained at the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) in Pune, one of India's most respected medical institutions, earning both her MBBS and her MD in Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy there. Before joining Apollo Hospitals, she served as a Colonel in the Indian Army, heading large tertiary dermatology centres in Lucknow and Pune, where she worked as a Professor of Dermatology. That military-medical background shaped her into a clinician who is systematic, thorough, and calm under pressure — qualities her patients notice from the very first consultation.

What people genuinely appreciate about Dr. Sinha is how she communicates. She takes the time to explain a diagnosis in plain language, walks patients through their options honestly, and builds a treatment plan that fits the individual — not just the condition. Whether someone is coming in for a laser procedure or navigating a complex autoimmune skin disorder, she makes sure they leave the appointment feeling informed and confident about next steps.

For international patients travelling to India for dermatological care, Dr. Sinha is a compelling choice. She is fluent in English, practises at a globally recognised hospital, and has decades of experience with cases that range from straightforward to highly complex. Her evidence-based approach, combined with access to advanced laser and cosmetic technologies at Apollo, means patients receive world-class care without having to compromise on warmth or personal attention.
