After serving seven years as a hospitalist seeing patients
for short periods, Dr. Niharika Joolukuntla wants to
develop long-term relationships with her patients,
helping them through their life changes. Seeing the
impact that health care had on her grandparents’ lives
influenced Dr. Joolukuntla’s decision to become a
physician. She wants to make a positive impact on her
community by helping people lead better and healthier
lifestyles.
Dr. Joolukuntla sees adult patients for the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illness.
She likes to focus on nutrition and lifestyle changes.
She creates a safe and non-judgmental space where
patients and their families can share concerns and
issues impacting their health. She believes in working
together to improve the quality of her patients’ lives. Dr.
Joolukuntla encourages everyone to eat healthy and
avoid a sedentary lifestyle by exercising regularly.
Dr. Joolukuntla grew up in San Antonio, TX, and met
her husband, a TriHealth Family Medicine physician
and Cincinnati native, during medical training. They are
happy to be raising their family in Cincinnati.
