Dr. Somesh N. Kaushik announces the reopening of the Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Clinic, in New York City. After a two-year hiatus, it has reopened under the name Vaidya Center of Integrative Medicine. It is an independent extension of his Cross River clinic and the Institute for Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Therapies, in Fairfield, Connecticut. These clinics offer authentic treatments, therapies and preventives based on the ancient philosophy of Ayurveda. The Vaidya Center’s practitioners are Dr. Thara Kodandaramachandra and Dr. Neha Kaushik.

Kodandaramachandra received her bachelor of Ayurvedic medicine and surgery (BAMS) degree at one of the best traditional Ayurvedic facilities in India—Government Ayurvedic College, in Bangalore—and attended Rāmniranjan Ānandilāl Podar College, in Mumbai, specializing in panchakarma. She is a certified Perfect Health Instructor, offering workshops and lectures in Ayurveda.

Neha’s academic degrees—doctor of naturopathic medicine, from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine; master’s in public health in epidemiology, from the University of Alabama; and Ayurvedic degree, from the Institute for the Advancement of Ayurvedic Sciences—allow her to specialize in chronic and acute illnesses with a focus on autoimmune conditions, intestinal health, the endocrine system and pain management.

Kodandaramachandra and Neha believe the doctor-patient relationship is central to healing and are committed to this relationship with compassionate care. They invite people to visit them at the Vaidya Center, where the mission is to help patients achieve a successful and balanced path to health and wellness.
