St. Luke's Center
Having come from a family of physicians, I have always had a passion for medicine. I believe focusing on diagnostics and appropriate therapies is the key to offering the patient the best possible treatment under my care. I am a passionate teacher and strive to stay current in my knowledge of medicine and the latest advances.
I earned my medical degree at the University of Bombay and served as university faculty in internal medicine at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center. I am an assistant professor of medicine at Temple University and am presently a physician with Northern Valley Primary Care.
I am a board-certified internist who joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2012. I am an academic physician who has been in practice for the last 27 years. I specialize in the comprehensive care of patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I am responsible for coordinating their comprehensive clinical care and management. I am also interested in quality initiatives, practice management, improving patient quality of care and clinical outcomes. In addition I am focused on the education of future healthcare professionals as I have an active role in teaching both medical students and residents.
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.
