Srikar R. Mapakshi, MD

I am also focused on cancer prevention, particularly on increasing awareness about colon cancer.”

When not seeing patients, Dr. Mapakshi enjoys spending time with his family and friends.

Dr. Mapakshi is employed as a clinical faculty physician at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler under the UT Tyler School of Medicine.
