Dr. Manjunath grew up in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta and is so happy to be back. Prior to joining CMG, she was a pediatric hospitalist in Chicago practicing in a variety of clinical settings. At one hospital, she staƯed an emergency room and cared for children admitted with chronic medical problems. At another site, she cared for children admitted to a community hospital for common childhood illnesses. While she loved her previous job, Dr. Manjunath always wanted to join a practice like CMG where she could care for kids when healthy or sick, and partner with families to optimize their child’s growth and development for years to come! Dr. Manjunath met her husband Adarsh while in college, and they have a beautiful daughter Layla who was born the year she joined CMG. In her free time, Dr. Manjunath loves running, hiking, and traveling. She never played an organized sport growing up, so has taken up tennis lessons in the last few years!
