About Dr. Sanjana Prakash

Growing up in India, I was inspired by experiences in both urban and rural communities, which sparked my love for connecting with people.

I’ve always been fascinated by medicine and value the privilege of supporting patients through every stage of life.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy painting, charcoal sketching and practicing yoga, meditation-mindfulness habits introduced to me by my parents at an early age, who continue to inspire me every day.

About Dr. Ansh Purohit

The human body is one of nature’s most intricate and exquisite machines. And the idea that even the smallest organism the size of a molecule, or even a millimeter-sized block of an artery, could bring down such a strong and large object never ceased to fascinate me.

The proverb “curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back” is one that I take to heart and has guided most of my life decisions up to this point, from trying new foods to selecting internal medicine as my future career.

In addition to my work at the hospital, I enjoy reading novels, playing video games, and watching movies to get a glimpse into the lives of others. They are exhilarating to me because I get to explore new worlds, delve deeply into incredibly intricate events, and feel a rush when I reach the end.

About Dr. Deepak Raj

I am originally from the remote region of Sindh, Pakistan. “Harkaat mein barkat hai” (blessing in movement/striving) has been my guiding mantra, inspiring my remarkable journey from humble beginnings to pursuing education in larger cities.

Fueled by childhood curiosity about the wonders of the human body, my fascination with bones and their role laid the foundation for my calling in medicine. Understanding the human body and emotions drives my passion for healing, fostering empathy and compassion within me.

Life in Gulfport, Mississippi, offers a rich cultural exchange, enabling meaningful connections with diverse people. Beyond patient care, my interest extends to teaching and learning, cherishing the value of knowledge-sharing.

Outside of medicine, I find joy in spending quality time with family, losing myself in novels, enjoying captivating movies, cooking delightful dishes, and exploring the great outdoors.

About Dr. Rohan Raj

Growing up amid significant healthcare disparities inspired my journey to becoming a first-generation physician, driven by resilience and purpose.

I thrive in collaborative environments and value empathy, curiosity, and cultural humility in clinical care.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy photography, exploring scenic landscapes, and learning fun historical facts from different cultures.

About Dr. Jacob Rovira

I have had a passion for science and wanted to become a doctor since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I spent much of my free time growing up running through the marshes of southeast Louisiana and the woods of South Mississippi. Outside of healthcare, I enjoy hunting, I am an avid fisherman and gardener, and I love a good DIY project.
 

I’m very excited to call the Mississippi Gulf coast home now and I’m very proud to be able to serve this community in my capacity as a resident physician and care for patients that remind me so much of my family and friends.
