Family Medicine Residency Faculty
Chandra Batra, M.D.
“Family Physicians are uniquely positioned to help large populations and are able to address majority of their healthcare needs. I am passionate about teaching the medical students and residents so that they can achieve their maximum potentials to heal themselves and the needy. I believe in holistic approaches to promote physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness by incorporating principles of Integrative and functional medicine. I trust body’s innate intelligence to heal itself if we remove the offending agents and provide it with missing nourishing ingredients.”
