Sai P. Mannem, MD

Dr. Sai Prasanna Mannem is a board-certified internal medicine physician with over fifteen years of experience providing primary care to patients across every stage of adult life — from teenagers 18 years or older, to patients in their late 100s. She joins PacMed after nearly a decade as a primary care physician at Overlake Medical Center & Clinics, followed by few years in private practice. Her clinical interests include preventive care, chronic disease management — particularly diabetes, hypertension, thyroid conditions, and heart disease — geriatric care, and behavioral and mental health. "The best medicine starts with really knowing a patient — not just their chart, but who they are and what matters to them,” she says. "That understanding is what makes everything else possible." Dr. Mannem earned her medical degree in Tirupati, India, and completed her residency in internal medicine at East Tennessee State University. She speaks English, and Telugu fluently, and hindi and finds that caring for patients in their first language often makes a real difference in how heard they feel.
