Where I practice
About me
I was born in India. After completing medical school there, I moved to the U.S. along with my husband. He and I have one wonderful son. I was inspired to take up this profession by my cousin, a physician, who was a mentor and role model for me. Being a provider suits me, as I have always had a passion for providing care to those who needed it.
About my practice
I wanted to work here because I was attracted to the mission and vision of the organization. Working for an organization that puts an emphasis on providing high-quality, affordable health care services and improving the health of our members and the communities we serve aligns with my own personal values. I believe in providing patient care with an emphasis on prevention, education and evidence-based medicine. My patients set goals for their own health and we make shared decisions together. I enjoy caring for all my patients and families throughout their lives and especially love working in women's health and helping patients with diabetes. I feel privileged for the opportunity to help people who need treatment or those who simply seek out information about preventive practices.
How I thrive
I love to cook and enjoy hiking. My family loves to travel the world and we cherish the time we spend together on these vacations. My personal motto is to practice what I preach. Trying to live this way keeps me motivated and inspired, since I want my patients to feel that my advice is genuine and informed by personal practice. To support my own physical and mental well-being, I eat healthy foods, exercise routinely and meditate.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
