Welcome to my Home Page!

I was born in a family were service and education were valued very much. Added to that, my love of science made medicine a natural choice for me.

I went to Stanley Medical College University of Madras in India. After graduating I took some time to travel. I did my residency in internal medicine in Kaiser Foundation Hospital, Santa Clara. When I was in residency, I realized taking care of sick people and making them feel better was very gratifying. Hence, I chose hospital medicine as my career.

My philosophy of care...

I think medicine is 50% service and 50% science. I will strive to provide 110% of that when I am taking care of my patients. I like to take care of my patients the way I would like to be taken care of.

My interests...

In the vast field of medicine, nephrology and critical care are my special clinical interests.

My personal interests include cooking, travel, and listening to music. I have lost touch playing a traditional Indian musical instrument, veena, which I plan to take up again.

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.
