Dr. Venkatachalam (she/hers) is a board certified obstetrician/gynecologist with over 20 years of experience in providing progressive and equitable care, from adolescence through menopause.

Amazing doctor. Helped me deliver my first baby. That was my first time meeting her and I was so grateful she was my doctor that day. Couldn’t have asked for a better provider.
