My philosophy:

I am your partner in achieving the best possible treatment outcomes and think that this goal is best achieved when you are actively engaged in the process.

My Interests:

On a professional note, I take active interest in clinical research and have presented posters at scientific meetings.

During my free time, I love playing on the computer, reading books, spending time with my family and traveling.

My Background:

I was born in Worcestor, Massachusetts and later raised in Bombay, India. I have been in Ohio for the past 14 years. I graduated from Seth Gorbandas Sunderdas Medical CollegeBombay, India in 1989. I completed my internal medicine residency, geriatrics fellowship and cardiology fellowship at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. I subsequently did fellowship training in heart failure and transplant at University Hospital Case Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University(CWRU). I am also Board certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2008.

I have been on faculty at University Hospitals as an Assistant Professor of Medicine for the last seven years. I was then recruited by Kaiser Permanente to join the transplant team.

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.
