As a pediatrician, I'm truly happiest when I see the positive changes I can make in a child's life and watch them grow into happy, healthy individuals. Whether I'm helping a parent through a tough time, guiding a child through their milestones, or supporting teenagers with their complex emotions, every part of this work feels incredibly rewarding. I love building strong connections with families, providing caring support, and knowing that I'm making a difference in a child's well-being.

I knew from an early age that I wanted to become a doctor. I used to bandage up my stuffed animals, and my love for science has always been most fulfilling when it's applied to real people and real situations. By the time I was in my third year of medical school, I had fallen in love with pediatrics. I found myself constantly thinking about my young patients, eagerly anticipating the moments I could return to care for them.

Being a parent to two wonderful kids has deepened my understanding of the concerns that families face. It helps me connect more meaningfully with families and offer the most compassionate care. I truly enjoy talking with children and teenagers, taking the time to explain things in ways they can understand, and addressing their individual worries. Building these relationships helps me encourage healthy habits and support children and teens in reaching their goals. Seeing them grow into happy, healthy adults is incredibly rewarding.

I began my medical career in India, completing my education at the esteemed Guntur Medical College, before pursuing Pediatric residency at Texas Tech University in El Paso. Prior to joining Cook Children's in Aubrey, I gained extensive experience at Renner Pediatrics in Richardson and Craig Ranch Pediatrics in McKinney, Texas. I am married to Rajasekhar, a software architect, and we are blessed with two wonderful children, Sidharth and Saila. Outside of my professional life, I derive great joy from traveling, cooking, and spending cherished moments with my family.

While I'm equipped to handle a wide range of medical issues, I have a special interest in allergies, asthma, and skin conditions. I'm passionate about working with kids and teens of all ages, striving every day to provide top-notch care that addresses both their physical and emotional health. I believe in empowering parents with the knowledge they need to make the best decisions for their children and love educating families to help them take charge of their health.
