My Healthcare Practice
The reason I went into my particular field of medicine is because I enjoy working with critically ill patients. I believe in building a relationship with my patients based on faith and trust and not merely on an exchange of service. Unfortunately, most lung diseases are more preventable and treatable, with only a few curable. I believe patients must take some responsibility for their health care and start with quitting smoking as a first step - Smoking - Call It Quits!. Tobacco kills more Americans each year than alcohol, coccaine, crack, heroin, car accidents, homicide, suicides, fires and AIDS combined (US Department of Health and Human Services).
How to Reach Me
Since part of my practice involves taking care of inpatients and intensive care patients in Sacramento and Roseville, I am not in the office at all times. My experienced staff can assist you at (916) 973-7618 from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm with most of your needs and take a message. I make every effort to return your call within the same business day.

While my turban signifies my faith in Sikhism, I am intrigued by, respect, and enjoy learning about other cultures.
