I received my medical degree from Gujarat University, and completed residency in psychiatry at Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago. Prior to my work in psychiatry, I worked in private practice and as an assistant professor in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I am certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I have been practicing for over 25 years in the Cincinnati area and have experience with diverse populations in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I provide medication management for a broad spectrum of conditions in adults 18-65+ including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, anxiety, depression, dementia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and substance abuse disorders
My medical approach is heavily collaborative - I strongly value working together with my patients to determine the best treatment plan with their goals in mind. I keep current with new advances in medicine and use evidence-based guidelines for treatment, but am also constantly learning from my patients. Additionally, I work closely with other providers such as counselors and social workers to ensure complete, holistic care of my patients. I follow patients closely and am very grateful for the many long term doctor-patient relationships I have developed over the years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, cooking, and gardening.
