The training behind the visit
Dr. Gayatri Siram is an Internal Medicine Physician providing primary care and advanced primary care services to a diverse population. She obtained her medical degree from Manipal Academy of Higher Education in India, completed her residency at JFK Medical Center, affiliated with the University of Miami, and went on to a fellowship in Anesthesiology for Liver Transplantation at the University of Miami.
That fellowship is an unusual line on a primary care résumé. Transplant anesthesiology is the practice of holding an entire physiology steady while an organ is exchanged — of reading liver, kidney, heart and clotting together rather than one at a time. It is a habit of mind that transfers directly to the patient in clinic with three chronic diagnoses and five medications, whose problems are not separate problems.
Dr. Siram is also a certified Lifestyle Medicine physician and uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions in the treatment of common chronic diseases. She is board certified in Internal Medicine.

Medical school, residency, fellowship, and two certifications that shape how the practice runs today.

Anesthesiology for Liver Transplantation
University of Miami
Subspecialty training in the perioperative care of transplant patients — among the most physiologically complex work in medicine.
04

05
Board certification
Internal Medicine
Board certified
The credential that governs the everyday work: adult primary care and advanced primary care for a diverse population.
Philosophy of care
Health is in your hands. We travel with you.
A great deal of adult medicine is decided outside the exam room — at the grocery store, at bedtime, in the hour that was supposed to be a walk. Lifestyle Medicine takes that seriously as clinical work rather than as advice offered on the way out the door. It means the conversation about sleep, food, movement, stress and substance use happens with the same care as the conversation about the medication list, because for the common chronic diseases those are the same conversation.
It does not mean refusing to prescribe. Internal medicine is the discipline of knowing when a drug is the right tool and when it is a way of avoiding a harder discussion. Dr. Siram practices both: therapeutic lifestyle interventions in the treatment of common chronic diseases, alongside the full range of conventional adult primary care.
The other half of the philosophy is continuity. You see the same physician each visit, at either office, and the diagnostics that shape the plan — EKG, spirometry, urine dipstick, blood glucose, lab draws — happen in the room while you are still in it. Patterns get noticed when one person is watching the whole arc.
Informed patients
We are dedicated and committed to keeping patients informed of their health — what a result means, and what it does not.
Time, where it matters
Traditional insurance visits or extended Direct Primary Care visits. Same physician; the billing model is yours to choose.
Answers in the room
In-office diagnostics prevent urgent care trips and deliver high quality care during the visit you already came to.

Hospital affiliations
Continuity that follows you past the front door

Additional training
Procedures most primary care offices refer out
Two areas of the practice sit outside routine internal medicine and required separate certification. Both are performed in office, by the physician.
Approach & access
What a visit with Dr. Siram is like
A short, honest description of how the practice works — so you know what you are walking into.
One physician, both offices
You see Dr. Siram in Boca Raton and in Pembroke Pines. Your record and your plan travel between the two; you do not restart with a new clinician.
Interpreters welcome
If you would be more comfortable bringing a family member or an interpreter to your visit, you are welcome to — tell us when you book so we can allow the extra time.
Adults 17 and older
The practice is built for adult medicine. Patients aged 17 and above are welcome, whether for a first annual visit or for decades-old chronic disease.
Insurance or membership
Traditional fee-for-service visits billed through your insurance carrier, or a Direct Primary Care membership with extended visits. The physician is the same either way.
Diagnostics during the visit
EKG, spirometry, urine dipstick, blood glucose and lab draws are done in office, which keeps decisions in the room and patients out of urgent care.
Telemedicine when it fits
Some problems do not need a waiting room. Follow-ups, medication reviews and straightforward concerns can be handled by video visit.
Book a visit
Start with a conversation, not a questionnaire.
