Passionate about advancing the understanding, management and treatment of endocrine disease, Dr. Kundra is currently involved in research exploring new treatments for thyroid cancer and thyroid disease. She’s a member of the American Thyroid Association and the Endocrine Society, and sits on the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee at Medstar Washington Hospital Center.

Philosophy of Care
“I’m here for my patients — to assist them with their healthcare and allow them to thrive as much as possible. I don’t believe in a ‘one size fits all’ diagnostic and treatment approach. I take a patient-centered approach that is based on listening intently to each of my patients and understanding what they want to achieve from treatment.”
