About
Dr. Negandhi has been practicing pediatrics in the United States for about 14 years now
Dr. Negandhi spent most of her childhood in India and attended medical school in rural area of India. Working in the rural environment and providing care to the under-served communities, Dr. Negandhi developed a compassionate and empathetic attitude towards her patients and their specific needs. To advance her career and make a difference, she decided to pursue medicine in the United States where she learnt the cutting edge technology and state of the art medicine.
After familiarizing herself with the medical field in the United States, Dr. Negandhi shifted her concentration to Pediatrics. She is proud to have accomplished her post-graduation work in Pediatrics from Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital located in Brooklyn, New York. As a primary care provider, her aim is to help the children and families of her community by developing a healthy lifestyle which starts at a young age. She feels extremely gratified to see children growing into responsible and happy adults. Her compassionate bed side manner, friendly and educated approach makes her a reliable healthcare provider in the Bay Area.
Dr. Negandhi believes that Medicine is an ever growing field and is thrilled to be committed to the process of lifelong learning. She is excited to meet with new patients and families from different cultural backgrounds. She is confident that she will make a positive contribution to the overall health and well-being of her local community.
