Infectious Disease and Critical Care Physician Sandeep Vangala, M.D., joins Stormont Vail Health

Stormont Vail Health is proud to announce that Sandeep Vangala, M.D., has joined our team and will practice as an infectious disease and critical care physician, located at Cotton O’Neil Garfield, 901 S.W. Garfield St., Topeka, KS 66606.

A large part of the inspiration for Dr. Vangala came from seeing some of his family members become ill. While in medical school, he was able to take part in a research fellowship at Yale School of Medicine in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Department. He took part in research on lung sepsis and knew that critical care and infectious disease was the specialty he wanted to go into. In the infectious disease specialty, Dr. Vangala stays motivated by the continued innovation in medicine and providing care. 

“When patients come to me in the clinic, they are looking for care for their disease but also reassurance," said Dr. Vangala. “I personalize all the care I provide to my patients. I take the time to listen and have conversations with them to make them feel more comfortable and learn more about their lives. It isn’t all about the medicine but also about providing the patients with comfortable and reassuring care.”

Dr. Vangala earned his medical degree in 2013 from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, India. He completed his internal medicine residency in 2017 and his infectious disease and critical care fellowship in 2020 at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Washington, D.C.

Dr. Vangala enjoys reading about how care was provided historically to see how far medicine has progressed. He also enjoys running while not in the clinic or hospital. He has a two-year-old daughter who he adores and loves to take her to the park to play.
