PARK RIDGE, IL – Loyola Medicine Park Ridge has recently welcomed two new primary care physicians and has expanded its services to include kidney transplant care.

Mary Barsanti-Sekhar, MD, who has expertise in internal medicine, pediatrics, preventive medicine and infectious diseases, joined the Park Ridge team in September, 2017.

"Building a relationship with each patient is one of the primary reasons we're here as physicians," Dr. Barsanti-Sekhar said. "As doctors, we want to get to know the patient, learn what's going to make them as healthy as possible and help them live their most fulfilling life."

Ramona Zak, MD, also recently joined the Park Ridge center. As a family physician, Dr. Zak sees patients of all ages. Her clinical expertise includes women's health and preventive medicine.

Drs. Barsanti-Sekhar and Zak join primary care physician Milton Legrand, MD, internal medicine.
