Welcome to my Web page. I am happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente because of my wonderful colleagues and members, and I look forward to working with you to care for your health.
I was born in India and immigrated here at the age of three. I decided to pursue a career in medicine during high school. During my internal medicine residency in Chicago I met my wife and moved to Michigan, where I underwent further training in geriatrics. We moved back to California to be close to family. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I like to bike ride and play tennis.
Our team here at Riverside Medical Center includes physicians, nurse practitioners, case workers, and physical therapists, who provide compassionate care in the skilled nursing facilities. We know the difficulties that many patients and families encounter during times of illness. We want to work together with you to attain the best quality in your physical and mental health.
I, like most people, have challenges in making healthy choices. I have a few pointers that work well for me. I enjoy watching television, but an easy and time effective way to get some exercise is to do push-ups and sit-ups during commercials. Eating a fruit or vegetable instead of chips or candy as a snack and choosing water over soda are easy ways to keep healthy.
