BOARD-CERTIFIED ER DOCTORS

Emergency Physicians at ER of Plano

Plano’s physician team covers an unusually wide age range, from infants with a sudden fever to older adults arriving with a long medication list and a new symptom. Eight board-certified doctors staff this emergency room, and every one of them is on-site rather than on call.

Care Built for Every Age Group

A Plano emergency room sees the full family. Our physicians work across pediatric fevers and respiratory illness, adult chest pain and fractures, and the complicated presentations that older patients bring when a chronic condition tips over. Several are bilingual, and the team is deliberately built so no age group is an exception.

Dr. Tushar Garg, DO

Serves: ER of Plano

Dr. Tushar Garg is a board-certified family medicine physician dedicated to delivering responsive, hospital-level care in a freestanding emergency setting.

Dr. Garg serves patients at ER of Plano, working alongside a team committed to short wait times and personalized care.

Dr. Irfan Rafiq Rana, MD

Serves: ER of Plano

Dr. Irfan Rana practices at the meeting point of internal medicine, family medicine, and emergency care, a combination that suits the wide variety of patients arriving at a freestanding ER without an appointment.

He earned his medical degree from Baqai Medical College in 2000 and has built more than two decades of clinical experience across hospital-based and outpatient settings. His emergency work covers the careful management of patients with chronic disease who present in crisis, along with the everyday case mix of acute infections, urinary complaints, and dehydration. He treats patients at our Dallas and Plano emergency rooms.

Dr. Madhu Sudhanrao Potla

Serves: ER of Plano

Dr. Madhu Potla brings something rare to a freestanding emergency room: formal training in general surgery alongside more than 40 years of family medicine practice.

He earned his medical degree from Osmania Medical College, his Master of Surgery from Mysore University, and completed his family medicine residency at Prisma Health in Greenville, South Carolina.

Board-certified in family medicine, he draws on that surgical background when reading acute abdominal pain, pediatric injuries, and the kind of complaints where the answer matters in minutes rather than hours. He treats patients at our Fort Worth and Plano emergency rooms.

Dr. Vijayalakshmi Nandimandalam

Serves: ER of Plano

For more than three decades, Dr. Vijayalakshmi Nandimandalam has worked at the bridge between internal medicine and the freestanding ER, where the same conditions she would manage longitudinally in a clinic often present in their acute, decompensated form.

She earned her medical degree from Sri Venkateswara Medical College and completed her internal medicine training in the United States. Her ER work concentrates on respiratory infections, pharyngitis, strep, and the wider set of internal medicine presentations that arrive in the emergency setting. She treats patients across our Coppell, Mesquite, and Plano locations.

Dr. Rama Sulochana Narla

Serves: ER of Plano

Dr. Rama Narla works exclusively at our Plano emergency room, where she has built a practice around the everyday acute conditions that drive patients to seek care at any hour: high fever, sudden upper respiratory symptoms, and the broad category of urgent presentations that can resolve quickly with the right evaluation.

She earned her medical degree from Kasturba Medical College Manipal in 1999 and is board-certified in family medicine, with more than two decades of clinical experience. Her practice spans both adult and pediatric patients, and she focuses heavily on the careful workup of recurrent or unclear presentations.

Dr. Aiman Shokr

Serves: ER of Plano

Dr. Aiman Shokr practices at the high-acuity end of emergency medicine: the patient with chest pain who may be having a heart attack, the patient with a fracture that has begun to swell, the patient with a febrile illness whose history doesn’t add up.

He earned his medical degree from the Al-Nahrain University College of Medicine in 1995 and is board-certified in emergency medicine, with three decades of experience across emergency, internal, and hospital medicine.

His work moves fluidly from rapid assessment to detailed follow-up planning. He treats patients at our Fort Worth and Plano locations.

Dr. Talal Zahoor

Serves: ER of Plano

Dr. Talal Zahoor has built his career across two parallel tracks: bedside emergency medicine and the operational side of running emergency and urgent care facilities.

He earned his medical degree from the University of Queensland Medical School in 2014 and has since practiced as both an emergency medicine physician and a hospitalist, with peer-reviewed publications spanning surgical, internal medicine, and emergency topics.

His work as a healthcare entrepreneur has focused on expanding access to community-based emergency and urgent care. He treats patients across all of our North Texas locations.

Dr. Yiqun Wu

Serves: ER of Plano

Dr. Yiqun Wu has practiced family and emergency medicine across four decades, and her work in the ER concentrates on the conditions that quietly turn serious if missed: poorly controlled hypertension, evolving kidney infections, and gastrointestinal complaints with a complex history.

She earned her medical degree from the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine in 1983 and completed her family medicine residency at the North Central Texas Medical Foundation. Board-certified in family medicine, she is bilingual in English and Mandarin and treats patients at our Plano emergency room.
