The In-Betweener Doctor

I was born in Chicago and grew up in Hyderabad. I studied medicine at Bhaskar Medical College, did my MD in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai in Chicago, and rose to become Chicago's youngest Chief Clinical Officer at 32 — heading the Covid task force at Loretto Hospital during the pandemic.

I understand both worlds. I know what it feels like to be an Indian patient navigating the US system — and an American-trained doctor navigating India. That perspective is rare, and it's what I bring to every consultation.

I'm now based in Hyderabad, where I co-founded Jade Clinics in Kokapet, and work as a medical consultant for individuals, corporates, and healthcare institutions who want rigorous, evidence-based care.

"I can relate to people wherever in the world they are from. That makes me a better doctor."
