Praharshini Hundt, M.D.

I strive to promote the four principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence and non-maleficence during patient care. Thus, it matters to me that my patients and their families are active participants of the medical decision-making process. I aim to keep my patients informed about the decisions I make and encourage them to ask questions. I also think of the patient and their disease process in a holistic manner and address any socioeconomical and cultural needs they may have, to the best of my abilities.

I am a Sri Lankan native and a Canadian citizen who moved to the United States for a medical career. I have lived in many places and enjoy traveling and exploring other cultures and cuisines. I also love to spend time in nature and having the four seasons matter to me. I also love dogs and horses.
