Dr. Semeer

Dr. Semeer is an Assistant Professor & Consultant in Respiratory Medicine, holding an MBBS and a DNB in Respiratory Medicine, with over three years of clinical experience. He is based in Alappuzha, Kerala, and is registered with the TCMC (Reg. No. 46966).

Areas of focus

• Diagnosis and management of asthma and other airway diseases
• Chronic respiratory symptoms such as persistent cough and breathlessness
• Allergic conditions affecting the airways
• General respiratory medicine

Approach to care

Dr. Semeer’s consultations begin with a detailed history of respiratory symptoms — how long they have been present, what brings them on, and how they affect daily activity and sleep — before recommending any test or treatment. Where lung function or allergy testing is needed, this is explained clearly so patients understand what each result means for their care.

Conditions commonly seen

• Newly diagnosed or poorly controlled asthma
• Chronic cough and breathlessness
• Allergic airway symptoms
• General chest and breathing concerns needing specialist review

Consultation mode

Dr. Semeer consults online across every Allergy Asthma Foundation centre, and also sees patients in person at the Palakkad centre. For an online consultation, a preferred time is arranged in advance and a video-call link is shared ahead of the appointment; for an in-person visit at Palakkad, the usual centre booking process applies.

What to expect at your first visit

Your first consultation with Dr. Semeer typically begins with a review of your symptom history, any previous test results or treatments already tried, and any relevant environmental or occupational factors. He explains, in plain language, what further testing — if any — is needed and why, so the reasoning behind each recommendation is clear before it goes ahead. Once a diagnosis is reached, treatment options are discussed together, including what to expect in terms of timeline and follow-up, so patients leave with a clear plan rather than just a prescription. Ongoing care is reviewed at agreed intervals, with the plan adjusted as symptoms change or improve.

Continuity of care

Dr. Semeer’s notes and test results are kept on Allergy Asthma Foundation’s shared clinical record, so a patient’s history is already available whether the next visit is online or in person at Palakkad. This is particularly useful for patients who alternate between the two consultation modes, or who see another consultant in the network, since the relevant history does not need to be repeated from scratch at every visit.

Booking a consultation

Appointments with Dr. Semeer can be booked online or by phone. Bringing any previous chest X-rays, lung function reports or a note of your symptoms helps make the first consultation more productive.
