Biography
I was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Most of my education was spent there. I didn't have much as a child, but I always dreamt of being a great doctor. When I was 22, I got a scholarship from the Soviet Union to study medicine. I spent seven years studying in the medical college. I went back to Sri Lanka and practiced medicine in rural and urban areas. I met a beautiful woman and got married to her. We moved to the United States because of the amazing opportunities this country has to offer. Two more wonderful people entered my life, my children. I …did my residency at the Texas Tech University Health Science Center in El Paso, Texas. I completed my residency in 2000, moved to the Antelope Valley and started working as a pediatrician. In 2002, I joined Kaiser Permanente and fulfilled another one of my dreams. I have continued to pursue this dream till today.
About my practice
Medicine as a career is a very special opportunity to connect and help people in a meaningful way, utilizing medical skills and knowledge, but also listening and responding to what patients need. Being a doctor allows people to share with me their innermost secrets, fears, and hopes. It is a privilege to help patients understand what concerns them, translate what they may not grasp, facilitate getting them appropriate evaluations, and communicate with them and their families. I feel very honored that patients have entrusted me with their care and strive to treat them as I would my own family.
How I thrive
Keeping balance in my life is very important to me. I eat healthy and exercise even with a hectic schedule, and I still find time for activities with my family.
