Hi, I’m Dr. Thangudu

I believe you deserve more than traditional medicine can provide.

So many of my patients have been underserved by traditional care. They’ve been pushed around and stuck on waitlists, only to see a specialist for five minutes who doesn’t have the time to get the full picture of your health.

And I think that’s just plain wrong. It’s just wrong that it takes people with PCOS an average of two years to get diagnosed. It’s wrong that those with diabetes and adrenal disease leave their appointments with more questions than answers. And it’s wrong that we fall back on influencer “experts” on social media… all because we can’t get an appointment to see our physician.

Okay, now let me step down off my soapbox to talk directly to you.

Your health doesn’t have to be a question mark. I created Complete Medicine so that I could help you find your healthy. I want to treat you as a whole person, not just your disease or symptoms. I’m here to support you, through every stage of your health journey.

Since 2012, I’ve helped thousands of patients with their most complicated health situations, and I’d like to help you, too.

Understanding the data is key, according to Dr. Arti Thangudu, an endocrinologist who regularly prescribes CGM.

“It helps track patterns. In the past, we used to have just capillary blood glucose, right? People were checking their blood sugars once a day in the morning or a couple of times a day. Or maybe they weren’t at all, because that’s really annoying, right? It’s annoying to prick your fingers. It’s painful. So, now these devices that people don’t even have to do anything for, they’re just there and they stay there for several days. They don’t have to change it every day, just giving them that blood sugar information all the time and they can share that with their clinician to assess patterns,” Thangudu explained.
