Dr. Shyam E. Balakrishnan
Overview
Developing a long-lasting patient-physician relationship is the most important aspect of my practice. I like learning about my patients’ culture and family backgrounds. I feel that this is key to understanding my patients better and allows me to provide the best care for them. I enjoy educating my patients about disease management, and I like to work with them to come up with a realistic treatment plan and goal. My other medical interests include wellness, preventive care, and chronic disease management. I am fellowship trained in geriatrics, and I like working with elderly patients as well. Balancing my medical career and personal life is a priority for me. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and daughter. My hobbies include traveling and trying out new cuisines. I value good health and fitness. My goal for myself and my patients is to get healthy and stay healthy!.
