About Dr. Manisha

Growing up in a family of doctors, I developed a strong passion for medicine early in life. This environment not only inspired me but also taught me the importance of compassion and dedication in patient care.

Back in Pakistan, I always considered myself a mountain person, but living near the coast now, I’ve developed a love for the beach – and combined with my passion for photography, it’s the perfect combination.

About Dr. Nikhil Mardhekar

I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where my parents instilled in me a love for medicine from an early age. Their passion for medicine and respect for the sciences sparked my own fascination with the human body’s complexity. This inspiration led me to Lincoln Memorial University, where I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). My interest in physiology and medicine soon grew into a deeper focus on hematology/oncology, a field where I’m driven to understand cancer and its impact.

Now based in Gulfport, I’m dedicated to serving this community by helping patients live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Our aim is to focus not just on treatment but on improving quality of life for each individual.

In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, drawing, and exploring the outdoors on my bike.

About Dr. Ryan Moses

I was born in Tennessee and raised in Williamsburg, Kentucky. I received my Bachelor of Science from the University of the Cumberlands and completed both my Master’s and Doctorate degrees at Lincoln Memorial University DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine.

I chose internal medicine because of the variety and complexity of conditions that I’ll have the opportunity to work with. I’m passionate about taking a preventative, holistic, and personalized approach to medical care.

When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, golf, reading, video games, and watching the Braves, Vols, and Titans play.

About Dr. Vishnu Palyam

Coming from a family of farmers, I learned the values of hard work, resilience, and community. My family instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, kindness, and thoughtful problem-solving.

Witnessing people struggle to access medical care inspired me to pursue medicine, with the goal of helping others live healthier lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, relaxing by the beach, and sharing kindness, love, and happiness with those around me.

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.
