Profile
My name is Dr. Krishnan, and I've been a doctor for the past 30 years serving the Ocala community at the Marion County Health Department. Now, I am the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) at the VA clinic near Leesburg. I specialize in family practice / general medicine and have a close network of doctors that I'm connected with. I also helped our annual Medical Expo gain massive coverage at our India Association of Ocala organization by suggesting mandatory Continuing Medical Education (CME) points to add to their practices. This turned out to be a stellar idea, because now the expos are overpopulated!
