Patient education is important to Dr. Thunuguntla, and she strives to make the people she cares for feel like part of a team working toward their health goals.

“I enjoy discussing what I plan to do when it comes to their case,” she says. “But I also talk about their diagnosis on a broader level. I encourage them to ask questions that we can discuss together.”

Those discussions often include how procedures, medications, and lifestyle changes all play a role in managing heart conditions.

Dr. Thunuguntla works to practice what she recommends to patients in her own life. In her free time, she enjoys exercising, especially yoga, and relaxing activities like painting and reading. She also loves to travel.
