Dr. Arunachalam follows in the footsteps of both his parents — in particular, his mother, an endocrinologist who showed her son how compassionate care can make a difference in the lives of others. Patients see Dr. Arunachalam for a wide variety of endocrine issues, including diabetes, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, and PCOS, as well as less-common conditions. His clinical interests also include diabetes technology and how it may be used to help patients better manage their conditions. Dr. Arunachalam’s favorite aspect of practicing medicine is how gratifying it is to learn about so many unique, interesting people and to help to improve their health.
