About Me

I am a pathologist. As a pathologist I do not get to meet you as I spend my time looking through a microscope at the tissues and cells removed from patients, making diagnoses and in cancer cases classifying and evaluating the extent of the disease. I then interact with your clinician and provide them the necessary information they need to treat your condition.

I chose pathology as a specialty because I am interested in the basic pathophysiology of the disease process and pathology helps me to understand the function and response of the cell and tissue in disease.

I received my medical degree (M.B.B.S.) from the University of Calcutta, India. I subsequently did my residency in pathology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India and obtained my M.D. in pathology. After coming to the U.S. I completed my residency at the West LA VA Medical Center. I am board certified in anatomic and clinical pathology and in cytopathology by the American Board of Pathology. I joined the Permanente Medical Group in 2002.

Before joining Kaiser Permanente I was a staff pathologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for over five years. I then worked as a staff pathologist at the West LA VA Medical Center for a year before joining the Permanente Medical Group.

In pathology my areas of interest include gynecologic pathology, breast pathology and cytopathology.

I am a member of the College of American Pathologists.

Besides English, I also speak Tamil, Hindi and Bengali.

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.
