Dr. Sabitha Gopalswamy’s inspiration to become a doctor inadvertently came from her father, after he was involved in a motorcycle accident. “When I was younger, my father had an accident and he spent a lot of time in the hospital recovering. Seeing all the doctors working to help him inspired me to study medicine and become a physician.”

In her practice at Reliant, Dr. Gopalswamy enjoys all aspects of providing adult primary care with a special focus on preventive care and oncology. “I really do enjoy being an internist,” she explains. “I think it’s a real challenge to take a complaint from a patient and then investigate and uncover the problem. Often, we are analyzing a series of symptoms and you really have to use your analytical abilities to arrive at the right diagnosis. I think all of us here at Reliant work really hard at listening and understanding the concerns of our patients. For me, it’s very rewarding to provide the best possible care.”

Dr. Gopalswamy enjoys practicing the martial arts and tries to incorporate their basic principles – discipline, integrity, and respect – into her practice at Reliant Medical Group each day. “It’s important for me to treat each patient I work with the way I would like to be treated,” she explains. “I strive to build mutual trust and nurture long-term relationships with all my patients,” she explains. “I enjoy being an internist and working on all aspects of patient care. I strive to identify and overcome barriers and work closely with patients and families to achieve important health goals.”

In her spare time Dr. Gopalswamy enjoys traveling with her family and exploring the cultures of various countries around the world. She also loves kick boxing and yoga as well as biking and nature walks.
