Welcome to My Internet Home Page
I am proud to be a member of such an outstanding department and the medical group here at Kaiser Permanente Central Valley. I hope that we can always provide the highest quality of care and service to you.
About Me
I was born in New York and grew up in the Bay Area. I received my undergraduate degree in Health Sciences and minor in Philosophy at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN. I then went into medical school and obtained my medical degree at St. George’s University School of Medicine, Grenada, West Indies. Thereafter, I received my internship training and residency training in internal medicine at Maricopa Medical Center, Phoenix, AZ. My medical interest includes palliative care.
When I was a child, my aunt, who was a physician, came and visited my family as she was studying for her medical board exam. I was impressed by how much she knew about medicine and what fascinated me most was that she was able to diagnose anyone who came to her. As I was watching her studying, I remembered how curious and interested I was when I saw her medical books and medical photos. Since then, I had the dream of becoming a physician. I have now succeeded and enjoy everyday in my practice.
I chose Kaiser Permanente as it is a well established organization. In addition, I can concentrate on taking care of my patients without worrying about the business side of healthcare. I moved to the Central Valley because my husband resides here. I enjoy the environment, and proximity to the Bay Area where I can be close to my family. It is also an ideal place to raise a family. When I am not at work, I like cooking, reading, watching movies and shopping for shoes! Besides English, I speak Gujarati fluently.
My Philosophy of Care
Being in the hospital is never an easy experience for anyone. I want my patient’s experience to be as painless as possible, as comfortable as possible, and at the same time I will provide the best possible care for a quick and lasting recovery.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
