About Me

As a rheumatologic patient, I bring a unique perspective to my patients’ treatment because I deal with many of the same symptoms and take some of the same medications as my patients. I strongly believe in holistic treatment and understand firsthand the social and psychological impact of the diseases I treat.

I’m a fellowship-trained rheumatologist and a clinical densitometrist certified to perform bone density testing. I completed my internal medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at Geisinger Medical Center in Pennsylvania. As a rheumatologist, I treat autoimmune diseases that affect every organ system in the body. I am especially interested in osteoporosis treatment, fracture prevention and seronegative spondyloarthritides, such as psoriatic arthritis. During my training, I also presented original research at multiple American and international conferences, including the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) conference and the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR).

A Lehigh University graduate, I am excited to once again be in the area, but now as an attending physician.

Outside of work, I enjoy eating and cooking international cuisine, traveling, writing young adult fiction, exercising and practicing my Japanese skills.

Dr. Kuppuraju was such an amazing resource! I sought additional information related to a health condition I am dealing with. My rheumatologist is excellent and Dr. Kuppuraju concurred with her plan and when I sought additional methods to address my issue he clearly explained that my path was the best plan as he saw it as well.

Dr. Kupparaju is just the most wonderful doctor. I have 100% confidence that he will be able to help me get my life back. I am currently having pain that prevents me from doing normal things. He has ordered more tests and I know he won't quit or say, "well you're getting older" like others have said. He is, quite simply, the best.

I have never encountered a physician who listens so carefully and answers all my questions as Dr. Kupperaju. I have waited two years for an appointment for an undiagnosed condition that is causing me a lot of pain. Both appointments I had made were cancelled after I waited months. I saw Dr. Kupperaju's video on St. Luke's website and called his office. I had to wait, but at least it wasn't cancelled by his office. He is the kindest and most courteous doctor I have ever had.

I'm very happy and Satisfied with the receptionists clerks checking me in and all. The waiting time was pleasant as well. Very quick to get in to see the Doctor.
