    Provider's Bio

    I enjoy practicing collaborative, individualized medicine, and including my patients in shared decision-making. I greatly value team care — when the patient, nurses and schedulers all are intimately involved in ensuring we work as a well-functioning team to deliver high-quality care.

    I grew up in Sri Lanka and moved to Minnesota for college. I did my undergraduate training at Winona State University, then several years of research at Mayo Clinic prior to completing medical school.

    In my free time, I enjoy being with my family, traveling and staying active.
