Internal medicine
Diagnosis and long-term care for adults. This covers prevention and screening, and managing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and heart health.
Internal medicine, geriatric care and Ayurveda
Longer life, better living, planned together.
Dr. Aarthi Kannan blends modern medicine with Ayurveda, and walks with you, step by step, toward a longer and healthier life.
Three kinds of care, one plan
Most people see a different expert for every concern. Dr. Aarthi brings three areas of training together, so your care fits the whole of your life.
Geriatric care
Care built around the needs of older adults: staying active and independent, keeping medications simple and safe, memory and balance, and support for families and caregivers.
Ayurveda
Ayurvedic principles for daily routine, food, digestion, sleep and stress. They are used alongside conventional medicine, never in place of treatment you need.
Your health, as a partnership
Good health isn't something done to you in a rushed fifteen-minute visit. Dr. Aarthi is known for longer appointments, because she believes you can't help someone you haven't truly heard.
She takes the time to understand your health, your worries and your goals. Then, as your health counselor, she explains your options in plain language and makes decisions with you, not for you.
The goal is simple: more good years, and feeling well enough to enjoy them.
