As a family medicine physician, I’m privileged to be the hub of your healthcare, using my skills and expertise to help you take the next steps towards accessing your wellness goals. One reason I chose my specialty is that I’ll never have the same day twice – I offer a diverse group of adult and geriatric patients a full menu of comprehensive, compassionate medical care. A few of my clinical interests include diabetes, asthma, hypertension, COPD, contraceptive care, and STI screening/prevention. I have a passion for providing general preventive care so that small issues don’t become bigger problems down the road. I have a special interest in treating patients from all over the world for whom English may not be a first language, as well as patients who are blind, deaf or living with other disabilities. My patients say I’m careful to take the time to empathetically listen and respond to their concerns and questions. During your visit, you will have my full and undivided attention. During my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, gardening, podcasts and art. Fluent in English, Hindi, Gujarati, and basic Spanish.
