Family Medicine near Inver Grove Heights, MN

Biography: As a doctor of family medicine, I value the relationships I can form with my patients and their families. I enjoy seeing patients of all ages, from newborns to adults. Along with general family medicine, I have particular interests in women's health, family planning and procedures.

Biography: I'm originally from India and grew up in four countries: India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia and the United States. Having that global perspective has helped me understand and empathize with patients of all different backgrounds. Working for HealthPartners from 2008 to 2015 as a clinical research project manager inspired me to practice medicine and spend my career providing care to patients. During my clinical training at Augsburg, I discovered that I loved working in family medicine. I enjoy supporting patients of all different ages and backgrounds. That's why I stayed in primary care. I never know what I'm going to see, and every day I'm pushed to use what I've learned so I can do as much as I can for my patients. I have a passion for working with underserved patients, especially refugees and new immigrants, older adults, and the LGBTQIA+ population. I also enjoy working with pediatric patients and their families. Some of my top interests include diabetes and hypertension management, HIV medicine, travel medicine, sexual health and chronic disease care. I understand the importance of preventive care and work with my patients to help them prevent disease and live longer, healthier lives. I take a team approach to health care. Partnering with patients, we decide on an evidence-based care plan. If I need more resources, I have a great team of providers to support me, as well as the whole care system and referrals network.

Biography: I enjoy the full spectrum of family medicine, including obstetrics and pediatrics. I love really getting to know my patients and their families. I strongly believe in the team aspect of medical care, which involves not just the patient and myself but also includes all of our support staff such as nurses, therapists and nutritionists.
