St. Luke's Rheumatology Associates - Allentown
My goal is to get to know my patients well so I can help them manage their rheumatological conditions. Rheumatology is a complex and unique specialty, where the entire clinical picture, including the patient’s medical history, exam and diagnostic tests, can help to identify the underlying diagnosis and subsequent management.
I am a board-certified rheumatologist at St. Luke’s University Health Network. My practice is dedicated to the management of autoimmune or inflammatory rheumatic disorders. I work closely with my colleagues across medical and surgical specialties to provide the best care to my patients.
I earned my medical degree at Srirama Chandra Bhanj (SCB) Medical College in Cuttack, India. I completed a residency in internal medicine at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a fellowship in rheumatology at the University of Missouri at Columbia. I am currently a member of the American College of Rheumatology.
Outside of work, my hobbies include playing soccer, tennis and traveling. I love spending time with my family and kids.
