Seattle's South Asian Medical Community

Seattle's Indian-American community may be smaller than those in cities like San Jose or Houston, but its professional footprint in medicine is significant. The University of Washington School of Medicine has long served as a training ground for physicians from South Asian backgrounds, and many who trained here have built lasting careers in the region.

For families in the Desi community who value cultural familiarity in their healthcare — whether that means comfort with South Asian dietary patterns, shared context around multi-generational family decisions, or simply the ease of a shared cultural reference point — knowing where to find Indian-American physicians across the city is genuinely useful. This guide maps 25 South Asian health professionals practicing in Seattle in 2026.

The UW Medical Center Cluster

The most striking pattern in this directory is the concentration at 1959 NE Pacific St — the primary address for UW Medical Center in the University District. Four physicians from this list practice at that address:

• Dr. Neha Deshpande (206-543-3605) — Room BB-527
• Dr. Maya Narayanan (206-598-4333)
• Dr. Arshdeep Cheema (206-593-6100)
• Dr. Ahsen Ahmed (206-520-5000)

Two additional physicians are listed at UW Medical Center without a specific room number:

• Dr. Kalsoom Hussain (206-598-5475)
• Dr. Rupali Jain (206-598-4416)

Together, these six practitioners make UW Medical Center the single largest hub for South Asian physicians in this directory. If you are already a UW Medicine patient, or seeking a referral within the UW system, the concentration here makes it straightforward to find a South Asian physician without leaving the network.

Insider Tip: UW Medical Center is a sprawling multi-building campus. Room BB-527, where Dr. Neha Deshpande practices, is in a different wing from many outpatient clinics. When scheduling your first appointment with any physician at 1959 NE Pacific St, confirm the exact suite or department — and budget extra time on your first visit to navigate the campus.

South Seattle and the Rainier Valley

South Seattle — encompassing the Rainier Valley, Columbia City, Beacon Hill, and the broader Columbian Way corridor — has historically been the city's most diverse geographic stretch, and the physician list reflects that. Several Indian-American doctors practice in this part of the city:

• Dr. Atrayee Mukherjee (206-695-7600) — 3639 Martin Luther King Jr Way S
• Dr. Kavita Kumar (206-762-1010) — 1660 S Columbian Way (VA Puget Sound area)
• Dr. Niten Singh (206-744-3241) — 325 9th Ave (Harborview Medical Center)
• Dr. Ayesha Kamal (206-403-8830) — 2821 S Walden St
• Dr. Safia Ahmed (206-461-4880) — 3808 S Angeline St
• Dr. Damanjeet Khurana (206-763-2626) — 4727 Denver Ave S

This cluster is particularly relevant for South Asian families who have settled in South Seattle and prefer a physician who is geographically accessible from their neighborhood.

North Seattle and the Aurora Corridor

North Seattle, including the Aurora Ave corridor and the northeast quadrant close to the University District, has its own concentration of Desi health professionals:

• Dr. Samya Murthy (206-715-7469) — 10505 Aurora Ave N, Suite 101
• Dr. Shweta Agrawal (206-527-7132) — 9720 4th Ave NE
• Dr. Yusuf Rashid (206-581-6178) — 7527 33rd Ave NE

The northeast quadrant of Seattle connects naturally to the UW Medical Center cluster, making the University District and surrounding areas a geographic corridor with significant South Asian medical representation.

Downtown, First Hill, and Central Seattle

Seattle's First Hill medical district — sometimes called "Pill Hill" for its dense concentration of hospitals — and the downtown core host several South Asian physicians:

• Dr. Shuchi Jain (206-987-2000) — 4800 Sand Point Way NE (Seattle Children's corridor)
• Dr. Swachi Jain (206-223-6861) — 1100 9th Ave (Virginia Mason area)
• Dr. Rituja Kapoor (206-728-4143) — 1930 Post Aly
• Dr. Sharat Raju (206-860-5414) — 904 7th Ave
• Dr. Vrinda Bhat (206-583-6011) — 925 Seneca St
• Dr. Hannah Rashid (206-453-2233) — 1201 3rd Ave, Suite 180
• Dr. Reith Sarkar (206-215-2323) — 1221 Madison St, Suite 1

The First Hill and downtown cluster gives South Asian patients access to Indian-American physicians within walking distance of multiple major hospital systems.

West Seattle and Outlying Areas

West Seattle and areas further from the city core round out the directory:

• Dr. Eyni Amin (206-330-4224) — 9618 6th Cir SW
• Dr. Hafsa Uddin (305-721-9093) — 3212 Alki Ave SW, Apt 101
• Dr. Mollie Roy (509-961-4100) — 1417 4th Ave W

West Seattle's Alki neighborhood, one of the city's most residential coastal areas, has practitioners from this list serving families on that side of the bridge.

FAQ

Q: How do I find a South Asian doctor in Seattle who speaks a specific language like Hindi, Punjabi, or Telugu? A: The most reliable method is to call the practice directly and ask about language capabilities. Physician profiles on clinic websites sometimes list languages spoken, but this information is not always current. A direct phone call takes two minutes and gives you a definitive answer.

Q: Are these physicians accepting new patients in 2026? A: Patient acceptance status changes frequently and cannot be guaranteed in a directory listing. Contact each physician directly at the numbers listed. For UW Medicine physicians, the UW Medicine central scheduling line can also help route you to available providers within the network.

Q: What is the advantage of seeing a physician at UW Medical Center for South Asian patients? A: The UW Medical Center cluster means that if you are a UW Medicine patient, you have access to multiple Indian-American physicians within a single integrated health system — making internal referrals, shared records, and coordinated care more straightforward. For patients not in the UW system, neighborhood-based practitioners may offer equivalent expertise with greater geographic convenience.

Q: How should I prepare for a first appointment with Dr. Kalsoom Hussain or Dr. Rupali Jain at UW Medical Center? A: Both are listed at University of Washington Medical Center. Dr. Kalsoom Hussain can be reached at 206-598-5475 and Dr. Rupali Jain at 206-598-4416. Call ahead to confirm the specific clinic location, department, and current availability before your visit.
