About me

Hello, and welcome to my Web page! It is very important that you feel comfortable with your personal physician, and I hope this page will help you get to know me. The best way to pronounce my name is 3 syllables at a time: Per-nen-kil. You can also call me Dr. P.

Biography

My parents moved to the United States from India and first landed in Champaign, Illinois, where I was born. We then moved to Slidell, Louisiana, (just outside New Orleans) where I grew up. I attended both undergraduate and medical school at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. My father is a cardiologist, which sparked my initial interest in medicine. During medical school, I fell in love with the field of family medicine due to the emphasis on preventive care and the lifelong relationships you develop with patients. Wanting to get a taste of the West Coast, I completed my residency with Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. I knew early on in residency that I wanted to stay on board with Kaiser Permanente in San Diego, and I was blessed with opportunity to do so. I met my wife in San Diego and we plan on raising our future children here.

About my practice

I emphasize prevention as much as possible in my practice. I believe exercise and nutrition are the best medicines, and I will always recommend these in conjunction with the treatment plan. I consistently engage members in their care and use shared decision making so that together, we can come up with the best path forward. Medicine is a team effort and I coordinate with other physicians, specialists, and nursing staff frequently. I enjoy taking care of members of all ages, from newborns to adults. I also perform many minor clinic procedures including skin biopsies, joint injections, and long-term contraception. Although I spend most of my time in the clinic, I also treat member in the hospital, where I work with residents and medical students in training.

How I thrive

Living an active lifestyle is very important to me and my family. I have many hobbies, but you can mostly find me cycling to work or on trails around town. My wife and I have a passion for the outdoors and go on many camping, hiking, and backpacking trips. We love to cook and are huge foodies, so we are always on the hunt for new recipes and restaurants. I also enjoy tennis, strength training, and reading fiction novels and about current events. I also advocate for health policy and safe cycling at the state and municipal level whenever I have the opportunity.
