About Dr. Unnikrishnan Thampy
WE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN MEDICAID PROGRAMS CURRENTLY.
Our practice specializes in Internal Medicine along with a weight loss program designed for individuals suffering from obesity and its co-morbidities.
Dr. Unnikrishnan Thampy, a graduate of Stanley Medical College with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, is certified by the American Boards of Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. Having worked with diverse populations across different parts of the United States and analyzed their disease patterns alongside co-morbidities arising from lifestyle, health education, and dietary habits, he has developed this practice not only to treat disease but also to educate patients and encourage a focus on disease prevention. He firmly believes that treating disease without addressing a person's lifestyle is an incomplete approach to patient care. Compassionate passion toward patients is what we strive for, and individualized attention is what we always provide.

October 20, 2025Paul L.Verified patient
What an excellent physician. Knowledgeable, honest, caring and such a humble person.
I work with different primary physicians myself and i have seen then become complacent in their clinic thinking and all they do is send referrals to let other specialists deal with real heath problems, and usually their main focus in only on putting a visit with codes and to move on to the next patient. Except Dr. Thampy, listened to all the problem, discussed the various scenarios, took appropriate history, made a differential diagnosis and discussed his thought process with me in detail. Really happy that i found such an excellent clinician.

Dr. Thampy is the best doctor I've ever had in my 48 years on this Earth, I can't begin to laud all his virtues: he is caring, dedicated, and super-patient with me at all times. His encyclopedic knowledge of medicine and its different specialties is downright staggering! He even takes calls from me and answers my emails when he's not at his office.
In today's world of managed care and money-grubbing doctors, Dr. Thampy is a refreshing change and a rare find. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, diligent primary care physician. I don't know what I would do without him.
