Some days are a quiet reminder that steady, honest work gets noticed. For Dr. Deepthi Atmakuri, Consultant Dermatologist at Clinica Derm in Hyderabad, one of those days came at the DGC Medical Awards 2026, organised by Doctor’s Growth Club.
Clinica Derm is proud to share that Dr. Deepthi has been honoured at the event. The recognition comes from her fellow doctors across Hyderabad and Telangana, and it speaks to her contribution to the medical community and beyond it. In this post, we want to share what the event is about, what the honour means to her, and the thinking behind the care she offers at the clinic every day.
About the DGC Medical Awards
Doctor’s Growth Club is a community of doctors in Hyderabad and Telangana. Every six months, the club holds an awards event to recognise doctors for the work they do in their fields.
Doctors rarely get a chance to step back and celebrate one another. Most days are spent in consultation rooms, wards and clinics, with very little time to look up. An event like this gives the medical community a moment to pause, acknowledge good work and encourage each other to keep going.
The DGC Medical Awards 2026 followed that spirit. The event brought doctors together to recognise what they give to their patients, their colleagues and society. Dr. Deepthi was among those selected for this honour, in recognition of her work within the medical community and outside it.
What This Recognition Means
Most of a doctor’s work happens quietly. A patient who understands their condition for the first time, a person who walks out of the clinic feeling reassured, a long treatment that slowly begins to show results: these moments rarely get noticed by anyone outside the consultation room.
That is why recognition from fellow doctors is a special kind of honour. It reflects the respect of people who understand the work from the inside. They know the long hours, the careful decisions and the responsibility that comes with every patient who trusts a doctor with their health.
For Dr. Deepthi, the award is a personal milestone, but it is also a reminder. Every patient who walks into Clinica Derm is placing their trust in her, and that trust is something she takes seriously. The recognition does not change how she works. It reinforces why she works that way.
Care at Clinica Derm: Listen, Explain, Treat with Honesty
Skin and hair concerns can affect more than appearance. They can affect comfort, confidence and daily routine, and many patients arrive worried or have already spent a long time searching for answers online. Dr. Deepthi’s approach is built around three simple ideas.
Listening carefully. A good consultation begins with the patient’s story. When did the concern start? What has changed? What has already been tried? Taking the time to listen helps a doctor understand the full picture instead of only what is visible on the surface.
Explaining clearly. Medical language can feel confusing, and patients should never leave a clinic unsure about their own treatment. Dr. Deepthi believes in explaining what is happening, what the options are and what to expect along the way, in words that make sense to the patient.
Treating with honesty. Skin and hair care often needs patience. Honest care means setting realistic expectations, recommending what is needed, and being open about how long a treatment may take. Patients should feel that they are being guided, not rushed.
This is the approach that Dr. Deepthi and the Clinica Derm team bring to every visit, whether it is a routine concern or a longer course of treatment.
Looking Ahead and Saying Thank You
Recognition like this is never the work of one person alone. Dr. Deepthi is thankful to the patients who have trusted her, to the Clinica Derm team who support her every day, and to Doctor’s Growth Club for organising an event that celebrates the medical community.
The award is also a motivation to keep learning, keep listening and keep offering patients the care they deserve. The goal at Clinica Derm remains the same as before: thoughtful, honest and approachable dermatology for the people of Hyderabad.
We thank everyone who has been part of this journey, and we look forward to continuing it with you.
