Philosophy of care | I approach patients not only with compassion but a listening ear. We have a relatively short period of time together, so I listen to the patient’s complaints, observe carefully and pay attention to details. It’s important for patients to have a chance to express all their concerns before I jump in and say what I think is going on. Whatever the symptoms may be, I try to identify the root cause and develop a comprehensive, holistic approach to eradicating the underlying problem so the person can feel better in the long run. | Why I entered medicine | I was always fascinated when I went to see doctors, and I wanted to help people who were sick. I like to meet people, talk about their problems and find ways to solve them. Because of those interests, I became one of the first in my family to enter medicine, receiving my training initially in India and later in the United Kingdom. Then I spent about 18 years in Philadelphia before moving to the Lehigh Valley. | Community involvement | I’m relatively new to the area and am still exploring, but one of my long-term goals is to provide service to an international organization that places doctors where they are most needed around the world. I also enjoy teaching children about Hindu philosophy and culture at my temple. | Personal interests | I enjoy gardening, mainly with flowering plants and vegetables, and traveling. I’ve been to various European countries such as France and Spain, as well as places like Cambodia, Vietnam and the Caribbean. I also like to read, especially nonfiction. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 42th for pulmonology and lung surgery on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list. |.

Philosophy of care | I believe that a strong doctor-patient relationship is at the center of delivering great medical care. I make sure to listen to what your chief complaint is but also don't mind hearing about that fantastic vacation you went on. Ongoing communication is also important. Once we have discussed your symptoms we will develop a comprehensive plan to try to get to the bottom of what is going on. I like to keep my patients up to date when abnormal or important results come in so that anxiety about a specific test is kept at a minimum. Tying it all together, I believe in always having a sense of humor and that a good laugh goes a long way. | Why I entered medicine | I always enjoyed listening to people and also being able to help them with their problems, and I decided early on that being a physician would be a great way to combine both of these loves. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time walking with my dog and my wife, watching baseball and football, listening to an eclectic mix of music, and reading Sci-Fi/fantasy.
