I decided to join the medical profession to serve and make a difference in people's lives. My passion to serve patients drove me to pursue an education in internal medicine, geriatrics, and integrative medicine. I have over 20 years of clinical experience. I am committed to providing efficient, comprehensive and individualized care to my patients. My approach is patient-centered, proactive, and holistic. While caring for patients, I explore safe, evidence-based conventional and alternative modalities. I feel honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve my patients. I believe in determining and addressing the root cause of disease and also valuing the importance of creating and promoting good health. Over the years, I have and continue to present at events sponsored by Duke Health in the community. On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. In my free time, I like to read, write, listen to music, and exercise. Dr. Shroff is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Memory Loss.
