As a primary care doctor, I have worked on improving the quality and quantity of thousands of patients in last 15 years. I do so by managing their chronic conditions like Hypertension, Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, COPD, Hypothyroidism, Arthritis etc, and by recommending and providing preventive medicine in form of cancer screening (Pap smears, mamograms, colonoscopies etc) and vaccinations against deadly diseases like pneumonia, influenza, tetnus. My interests include geriatric and weight loss medicine.

- I helped this signature facility to achieve 5 star status within a span of three years by working closely with the administrator and nursing staff. - I helped reduce the pill burden (poly-pharmacy) of the residents which has led to reduced number of falls, insomnia, confusion amongst the patient and that improved their outcome. - I helped devise policies which led to reduce the number of infections in the facility and that in turn caused reduction in use of antibiotics. - I eliminated the use of sliding scale insulin which reduced our hypoglycemia cases. - Hillcrest's return to hospital numbers have dropped due to policy of optimization in the management of COPD and CHF, under my leadership.

- Ihave helped Greenville Diversicare maintain its top rank amongst all the Diversicare nursing homes. - I managed to implement antibiotic stewardship program, just like the way I implemented in Hillcrest nursing home and that has helped multitude of patients, avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. - I implemented similar policies that I implemented in Hillcrest, with almost same result. I consistenly received an “excellent” on over 90% of the surveys received from residents and loved ones for “Quality of Physician Services.”

I did locum assignments for Cogent and than for hospital owned hospitalist group. Managed all types of patients with all types of illnesses in ICU, on regular floor as well as on TCU and rehab.
