My goal is to get to know my patients well so I can help them manage their rheumatological conditions. Rheumatology is a complex and unique specialty, where the entire clinical picture, including the patient’s medical history, exam and diagnostic tests, can help to identify the underlying diagnosis and subsequent management.
I am a board-certified rheumatologist at St. Luke’s University Health Network. My practice is dedicated to the management of autoimmune or inflammatory rheumatic disorders. I work closely with my colleagues across medical and surgical specialties to provide the best care to my patients.
I earned my medical degree at Srirama Chandra Bhanj (SCB) Medical College in Cuttack, India. I completed a residency in internal medicine at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a fellowship in rheumatology at the University of Missouri at Columbia. I am currently a member of the American College of Rheumatology.
Outside of work, my hobbies include playing soccer, tennis and traveling. I love spending time with my family and kids.
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of St. Luke’s University Health Network.
