Appointment Information
Eau Claire, WI
Hospital
1221 Whipple St., Eau Claire, WI 54703Provider's Bio
I strongly believe in establishing a therapeutic partnership with my patients and their families from the get-go so that I can better address the problems that are most important to them. I like to spend time truly understanding my patients' problems and going over test results to ensure they understand complicated medical problems they may be facing, in a way that isn't overwhelming.
I am originally from the city of Bangalore in India. With my dad being an anesthesiologist, becoming a doctor seemed to be in my blood and came naturally to me.
Outside of practicing medicine, I enjoy painting canvases, cooking/baking, playing piano, exploring new restaurants and cities with my husband, and spending time with my family.
