Chandni Lotwala, MD

What are you most excited about this year?
I’m most excited to become more confident in engaging in end-of-life conversations with my patients and their families in order to provide the most care and support in challenging times.
Why did you choose Hospice and Palliative Medicine as a subspecialty?
I chose hospice and palliative medicine as my subspecialty because although I really enjoyed working with patients as a family medicine physician, I found that end-of-life conversations and care were limited due to time constraints and my comfort level. There’s something very beautiful about being able to guide patients and their families through tough decisions and situations and Palliative care allows physicians to be able to navigate those situations together with our patients.
What is the most fun thing you want people to know about you?
I’m a big foodie and started a food Instagram a few years ago. My goal while in Houston is to explore restaurants and experiment with recipes for my page.
