Dr. Kedarnath Dewangan

Biography

I’m Dr. Kedarnath Dewangan, a dedicated medical professional specializing in Interventional Pulmonary Medicine, Allergy, and Critical Care. I hold an MBBS from People’s Medical College and an MD in Respiratory Medicine from Indore.

Currently serving as the Critical Care Director at Vrinda Hospital (Chest Allergy Center), I bring over a decade of experience in diagnosing and permanently treating allergies such as asthma, rhinitis, and dermatitis through advanced allergy immunotherapy. To date, I have successfully treated over 10,000 patients—many of whom have been able to stop medications like inhalers and steroids entirely.

Born and raised in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, I bring a deep-rooted empathy to my work. Whether in high-stress ICU environments or outpatient respiratory clinics, my approach remains patient-centered, precise, and grounded in evidence-based medicine. I am passionate about continuous learning and delivering modern, compassionate care to every individual I treat.
