Always intrigued by life sciences, Dr. Siddharth
Shankar naturally gravitated to medicine as a career
and chose internal medicine for the uniquely diverse
conditions and patients he gets to encounter. He is
dedicated to helping people feel better and live better.
He also enjoys the challenge of staying on the cutting
edge in a constantly changing field.
Dr. Shankar sees adults for the prevention, diagnosis
and treatment of acute and chronic illness.
He is particularly interested in preventive care
and metabolic disease management, including
hypertension and diabetes. Dr. Shankar takes a
conversational approach during visits, helping patients
feel comfortable in sharing their needs and concerns.
He encourages everyone to learn more about their
own health, believing the key to good health is
awareness and understanding of one’s body.
Originally from Dallas, TX, Dr. Shankar enjoys
