Medical bodies and dermatology organizations Dr. Ankita and Gomti Clinic are associated with.
In Lucknow, many clinics — especially those in commercial areas like Gomti Nagar and Hazratganj — display generic "certified" badges without specifying which bodies they belong to. Professional affiliations are different from marketing badges. They indicate that the doctor maintains active engagement with peer-reviewed medical communities, attends continuing medical education (CME) events, and follows updated treatment guidelines.
The IADVL is India's largest and most respected dermatology association. Membership requires a medical degree with dermatology specialization. The IADVL publishes treatment guidelines that Gomti Clinic follows for conditions like melasma management, acne grading, and vitiligo treatment protocols.
IADVL membership also provides access to the latest research on topics directly relevant to Lucknow patients — such as the relationship between hard water and eczema, UV-triggered pigmentation patterns in North Indian skin types, and humidity-related fungal infection protocols.
The IMA is India's largest professional body of doctors. Dr. Ankita Kumari's membership with the IMA ensures alignment with national ethical medical practice standards, patient rights frameworks, and professional conduct guidelines.
Beyond static memberships, Dr. Ankita participates in dermatology conferences, CME sessions, and clinical workshops. This is particularly important in a field like dermatology where laser technology, injectable techniques (Botox, fillers), and treatment protocols for conditions like melasma evolve rapidly.
For a patient in Lucknow seeking Botox treatment or laser hair removal, this means the techniques used at Gomti Clinic reflect current best practices — not outdated methods.
