Hari Korsapati, M.D., Ph.D.

I see myself as an advocate for you within the hospital system. My goal is to improve your hospital experience by prioritizing your comfort, safety, and wellbeing, making sure your needs are met promptly and your voice is heard. I am committed to guiding you through your hospital stay, ensuring you understand your health status, treatment plan, and learn what to expect during your time with us.

As a hospitalist, my practice philosophy is deeply rooted in the institution's core values of respect, integrity, compassion, healing, teamwork, innovation, excellence and stewardship. I firmly believe in putting you at the center of all decisions and fostering a collaborative environment where you feel heard and valued. Guided by a commitment to evidence-based medicine and continuous learning, I strive to provide the highest quality of care possible.

My goal is to treat diseases and promote overall health and wellness, treating each patient holistically and with the utmost compassion. My care approach is anchored in providing comprehensive, acute inpatient care.

You can anticipate open, regular communication during your care, as I believe it is essential to dispel fears and provide clarity. I collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals to deliver seamless, interdisciplinary care, ensuring smooth transitions between departments or back to primary care providers.

Outside of the hospital, I'm working on obtaining my private pilot license – the sky is literally the limit for me!

I proudly represented Mayo Clinic in "Dancing with Mankato Stars 2023", where I combined my passion for healthcare and dance to entertain and inspire. This experience not only refined my dance steps but also underscored the importance of community engagement and maintaining a balanced life outside of medicine.
