About
Dr. Kalyan Aluri brings more than 20 years of experience in primary and urgent care to his Fort Wayne practice. He earned his medical degree from MR Medical College in India, then completed his Family Practice residency at UPMC Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He holds board certifications in both Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine through the American Board of Obesity Medicine.
Dr. Aluri deepened his clinical expertise with a Master's degree in human nutrition and extensive training in functional and lifestyle medicine. During the pandemic, he navigated the same pressures many patients face: demanding hours, chronic stress, and weight gain that eventually led to back pain. He pursued specialized training in obesity and lifestyle medicine and lost 80 pounds, maintaining that loss through lifestyle changes over two years. That experience sharpened his approach to chronic disease. He is passionate about helping patients prevent and reverse conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity through sustainable lifestyle intervention. He treats every patient as a whole person, prioritizing open communication and education so patients can take real ownership of their health.
