Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, part of Southwestern Vermont Health Care, has hired Disha Geriani, MD, as a pulmonologist and medical director of critical care.
Geriani received her medical degree from Kasturba Medical College in Mangalore, India, and is board-certified in internal medicine and pulmonology by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She will see patients with problems related to lung function, perform bronchoscopy procedures and provide critical care in SVMC’s Intensive Care Unit.
“Dr. Geriani has a rich background of skills and experience, and we are exceedingly pleased to welcome her to this important dual role,” said Trey Dobson, MD, chief medical officer of SVMC. “She will work closely with our hospital medicine physicians, surgeons, teleICU physicians and staff from Dartmouth Health, and our critical care nursing team to expand our inpatient acuity and outpatient services over the next several years.”
“I am very excited to be a part of SVMC, a place where my goals of bringing the highest quality pulmonary and critical care to the community resonate with those of the hospital team,” Geriani said. “I aspire to provide the kind of care to my patients that I would expect my own family members to have, and it is great to see all my colleagues sharing and striving for the same.”
