USMD Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: USMD), a physician-led integrated
healthcare system, announced today that two new physicians—Sesha
Uppalapati, M.D. and Shailendra Chavda, M.D.—have joined USMD
Affiliated Services. These new physicians have been added to
respond to the growing healthcare and patient needs of the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Drs. Uppalapati and Chavda increase the number of USMD primary
care physicians serving seniors and accepting Medicare patients to

at least 65 years of age by 2030, adding these physicians ensures
that USMD is able to provide comprehensive healthcare to this age
group.
“I’m excited to add Dr. Uppalapati and Dr. Chavda to USMD,” said
John House, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of USMD
Holdings. “Our goal is to provide all of our patients, from babies
to senior citizens, with the most high-quality healthcare. Adding
these physicians will allow USMD to continue to meet the needs of
our expanding patient base, while continuing to provide each
patient with the care and attention they deserve.”
Dr. Uppalapati joins USMD at its Mid Cities Clinic. She
completed her fellowship in hepatology at the University of
Medicine and Dentistry in Newark, N.J., and her residency in
internal medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital in Bethlehem, Pa.

his residency in internal medicine at Illinois Masonic Medical
Center in Chicago.
