About Abhijith Hegde
Professional Statement
Get To Know Me
I am fully committed to patient health and will go the extra mile to ensure patients are properly cared for.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Patients should expect a clear plan of care that includes not just the illness but also the individual and their family. I look for commitment from my patients to their own health.
How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I enjoy downtime with my wife, two sons and our dog. I love working in the yard and early morning runs.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I grew up with asthma and having the ability to treat lung disease and ease my patient's breathing is deeply rewarding.

Dr. Hegde is kind and thorough, spends enough time explaining things. I worked with him for many years and most recently he has been taking care of my husband. I would trust both of our lives in his hands!!

Dr. Hegde has a great bedside manner. He asked all the right questions. Genuinely listened intently. He remembered something personal from a year ago and asked me how things worked out. Couldn’t be more pleased!
