Meet

Dr. Surkunte — Physician

Specialist, and Your Partner in Lasting Health

Dr. Arpita Surkunte, MD is board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. This is not a general practice that added a weight loss program. This is specialized, evidence-based medicine built from the ground up around your health.

Before founding New Viva MD, Dr. Surkunte spent nearly two decades in clinical internal medicine, treating the full spectrum of chronic disease.

She saw, again and again, how unaddressed weight, hormonal changes, and metabolic dysfunction contributed to many of the health problems her patients faced. She built New Viva MD to address these foundational issues directly — before they become something worse.

Her Approach

Dr. Surkunte takes what she calls a root-cause approach — looking beyond symptoms to understand the medical, metabolic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to how a patient feels.

She uses appropriate laboratory testing, comprehensive evaluation, and evidence-based treatment options to understand what may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms and build a plan around the individual — not just the symptom.

Her practice is judgment-free by design. She has seen every body type, every health history, and every prior experience with weight loss success and failure. There is no judgment here. Only medicine.

You deserve a doctor who knows you.

Book your consultation with Dr. Surkunte in Chandler, AZ and find out what is actually possible when medicine is built around you.
