Critical Care Medicine Services

Our members have over 150 years of combined critical care experience. Drs. Krahling, Lupercio and Sambasivan are board certified in critical care medicine. With an aging population and a nationwide shortage of critical care specialists we are proud to treat and serve the patients in our community who have a variety of life threatening illnesses (see attached link for crisis in critical care). As critical care specialists we have cross trained in other specialties including Pulmonary Diseases, Nephrology, and Internal Medicine. We provide a broad and comprehensive system approach to our patients keeping the quality of life and family support as our main goal.
