The professional ranks at Lakeland Health have recently gained new expertise in three key disciplines thanks to the arrival of new players in the system. One is a Nephrologist…one is a Dermatologist…and one is an Endocrinologist all new to the Lakeland Health family.
Lakeland Health recently welcomed Dr. Sambhavi Krishnamoorthy to its medical staff. She is seeing patients alongside Doctors Daniel Brash, Katherine Kwon and Oliver Songlinco at Lake Michigan Nephrology, located at 3800 Hollywood Road in Suite 104 in St. Joseph. The practice cares for adult patients with kidney disease and hypertension.
Dr. Krishnamoorthy finished her Nephrology fellowship at Barnes Jewish Hospital through Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Stonegate Dermatology, a Lakeland Health Affiliate, will soon open within the Stonegate Medical Center at 3901 Stonegate Park in St. Joseph. That facility is co-located next to a plastic surgery practice and outpatient surgery center, along with a state of the art medical spa. Dermatologist Riddhi Shah will begin seeing patients in October.
Dr. Shah completed her fellowship and residency training with Lakeland Health. During that time, she served as Chief Resident, and was an active member of the Graduate Medical Education Committee.
