Overview
Dr Lakshmi V is a Consultant Pulmonologist in Sarjapur Road (Dommasandra), Bengaluru, with over 12 years of experience. Patients with asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, chronic cough, or breathlessness that has gone undiagnosed or under-managed will find in her a clinician who is both methodical in her approach and clear in how she communicates what she finds.
She completed her MBBS, an MD in Respiratory Medicine from Grant Government Medical College and Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, and a DNB in Respiratory Medicine from the National Board of Education, Delhi, in 2020. Her training included hands-on experience in procedures such as thoracocentesis, diagnostic bronchoscopy, intercostal tube insertion, and fibreoptic bronchoscopy – a broader clinical base than most outpatient pulmonologists carry, and one that sharpens diagnostic thinking even in a consultation-only setting.
Her published research on fractional exhaled nitric oxide in patients with newly diagnosed asthma and COPD reflects a focused interest in getting the diagnosis right at the first visit, which is exactly what patients at RxDx should expect. One patient described how Dr Lakshmi was the first doctor to correctly identify their mother’s chronic cough and breathlessness as asthma, after a long period of inconclusive assessments elsewhere. That kind of diagnostic clarity is what a consultation with her is built around.
At RxDx Clinics, Sarjapur Road (Dommasandra), Bengaluru, Dr Lakshmi V offers respiratory consultations covering asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, sleep apnoea, interstitial lung disease, and respiratory infections – with the focus on accurate diagnosis, second opinions, and a clear management plan.
