As a physician, I believe that taking the time to listen to patients and securing their trust plays an important part in health maintenance. In a specialty dealing with chronic conditions, I believe it is key to nurturing the doctor-patient relationship.
I earned my medical degree at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India; completed a residency in internal medicine at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; and a fellowship in rheumatology a the State University of New York Upstate. I am currently a member of the American College of Rheumatology.
Outside of work, I enjoy visiting new places and trying different cuisines that I can experiment with in my own kitchen. My husband and two children are my biggest fans and I spend most of my time finding different ways to entertain them!
“I saw the fellow/resident first. She went above and beyond to answer and explain so much to me. Spent quality time with me. She then relayed my condition to Dr. Jaffari. Dr. Jaffari only spent a very limited time with me, but I guess because D.did all the groundwork”
