Becoming a physician and making a difference was my childhood dream, which came true with the continuous, unconditional and untiring support of my family and their unwavering and tremendous confidence in me. My parents have been my greatest teachers and have always stressed the importance of higher education. I was born and raised in Punjab, India, and I graduated from Amritsar Medical School. I moved to the U.S. in the late 1980s, where I continued my medical education. Later, I became motivated by the holistic approach and received another degree as a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO). I have lived in many cities across the U.S., and I have been in Atlanta since 2006. I joined Kaiser Permanente in February 2016.
