I am an assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine in the Division of Nephrology. I am a proud associate of Arkansas’s only transplant program.
I graduated from Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, NTR Health University, India, followed by residency in internal medicine from Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts. I proceeded to complete my fellowship in nephrology from University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
