About Me

I come from a large family that is spread around the globe. Both my parents are from India, and most of my family is still there. I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington and I am the first generation of my family born in the United States. I attended Occidental College in Los Angeles and did my medical school in Chicago. I completed my pediatric residency training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical center, one of the largest pediatric hospitals in the country. My wife and I moved to Denver in 2007 and I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2009 after spending almost 3 years in private practice with Cherry Creek Pediatrics.

About my practice

I believe that good medical care is best provided through a team approach. To that end, I encourage families to be active in their child's care, ask questions, and promote a healthy lifestyle that goes beyond the clinic visit. Additionally, trying to avoid illness through preventative measures is something I strongly believe in and is a cornerstone of my practice. I also believe teaching is an important part of pediatrics, and I try to provide as much information as possible during each visit so parents feel comfortable caring for their child at home and in the future. I enjoy the full spectrum of pediatric care from newborns to teenagers as each patient presents a unique opportunity for me to grow as a clinician and to establish a lasting relationship.

How I thrive

I love to be outside and enjoy all that Denver has to offer. I play soccer at least twice a week and enjoy hiking, biking, and camping throughout Colorado as well. I find that being physically active keeps me refreshed, leads to a sharper mind, and gives me a healthier outlook on life. I like to cook and my newest endeavor is trying to replicate some of my favorite meals from local restaurants... admittedly with varied success. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my wife, and being an active participant in Denver's sports and arts scene as well.
