Prairie du Chien, WI
Clinic
800 E. Blackhawk Ave., Prairie du Chien, WI 53821Provider's Bio
I am a strong proponent of patient education. It is my firm belief that informed patients make better decisions about their health. In today's world, where information can sometimes be overwhelming or confusing, having an aide or a point of contact for information would be beneficial. I can't promise I will know the answer to all the questions, but we can search for answers together!
The other aspect I love is how much I learn from my patients. My patients have taught me things as simple as the best food in town or as complicated as how to negotiate with a car dealer.
I provide outreach services in Neurology in Prairie du Chien.
I was born and raised in India where I completed my medical school in the beautiful coastal town of Mangalore. I moved to the United States in 2017 to further my medical education.
I have received the Robert Currier Award for Excellence in Neurology, Arnold P. Gold Foundation's Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award and the University of Iowa Graduate Medical Education's Excellence in Teaching Award.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and traveling.
