Introduction
Dr. Arun Kattakayam – who also answers to Dr. K – emphasizes teamwork when treating hospitalized patients to ensure they receive well-rounded care. He accomplishes this by involving his patients’ families in decision-making and collaborating with his medical colleagues.
Dr. Kattakayam always aims to provide the best care and act in the best interest of his patients. “A big part of caring for patients is understanding them as a whole person and not just treating the medical problem,” he says. “I look deeper than just focusing on what I see and what the patient’s chart says.”
Outside of the hospital, Dr. Kattakayam enjoys fishing and singing as a trained Carnatic vocalist.
