Worth knowing
- The Dartmouth Health profile lists board certification in Internal Medicine. Research did not confirm whether he currently holds board certification in rheumatology. Patients can ask his office directly. providers.dartmouth-health.org
- Sources list his degree differently: the Dartmouth Health profile says MD, while the Geisel faculty database lists MBBS. Both are standard medical degrees, and MBBS is the common medical degree in India, where he trained. geiselmed.dartmouth.edu
- Some online directories still show his NPI under an older listing as internal medicine in Springfield, IL, based on 2015 and 2017 federal records. This appears to reflect his earlier work as a hospitalist rather than a different doctor. providers.dartmouth-health.org

A word of caution about these numbers
A payment does not mean your doctor is compromised or acting unethically. Most of these entries are drug samples left for patients, or lunch brought in for the office staff, and the amounts are usually small. Research funding and speaking at medical meetings are also normal parts of a clinical career.
As a rough guide, a total under $15,000 a year is usually not a concern. Much larger sums, especially from one company whose product your doctor recommends to you, are worth asking about. You are allowed to ask.
