Meet Dr. Barathan
Dr. Shrinath Barathan is an internist and nephrologist in his thirty-first year of practice. After an internal medicine residency and a nephrology fellowship at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, he joined Cedars‑Sinai Medical Center as an attending physician in 2003, and taught for twenty years at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, rising from clinical instructor to associate professor. He is board certified in both internal medicine and nephrology, and a fellow of the American College of Physicians and the American Society of Nephrology.
His concierge practice is capped at forty members, which is what makes the rest possible: every result, image and prior note is read personally before you are seen, appointments are same-day, and one direct line reaches the physician himself. Care covers annual comprehensive assessment, medication and laboratory review, and navigation of genuinely complex problems — coordinated for families living between the United States, Russia and the Middle East, in English, Russian, Tamil or Malayalam.
“With my concierge service you get more than just a check up, you get my full expert commitment to help you with your health care needs. With my vast knowledge and experience I can help you navigate both simple and complex health issues.”

Dr. Barathan trained at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland: residency in internal medicine at MetroHealth Medical Center (1997–2000), then a fellowship in nephrology (2000–2003). He joined Cedars‑Sinai Medical Center as an attending physician in 2003, and has since served on the hospital committees that oversee dialysis, sepsis protocols and kidney replacement therapy.
That work — acute kidney injury, dialysis, sepsis, resistant hypertension — is where dose and timing decide outcomes. It shaped how he practises now: read everything first, delegate nothing, and stay reachable.
