About Us

Dr. Smita Kargutkar completed her MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) from the prestigious Seth G.S. Medical College and K.E.M. Hospital in Mumbai. After moving to the USA, she completed her residency in internal medicine at Monmouth Medical Center, NJ. She then became the first fellow in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA. After completing her fellowship, she moved back to Monmouth County and worked with the Barnabas Health Medical Group for 3 years. Being from India, which has a 10,000-year history of Ayurvedic and holistic medicine, she started noticing the limitations of traditional Western medicine. So Dr. Kargutkar started her own endocrinology practice in 2016. She furthered her knowledge of integrative, functional, and aesthetic medicine with fellowships from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. The American Board of Internal Medicine has twice certified Dr. Kargutkar in internal medicine, endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. She is also trained in obesity medicine and has helped hundreds of patients lose anywhere from 15 to 135 pounds successfully medically without bariatric surgery. She also holds an active medical license in Maharashtra, India, where she is affiliated with BKL Walavalkar Rural Charitable Hospital to treat indigent patients and teaches medicine residents. Dr. Kargutkar mentors PA students, medical students, internal medicine residents, and endocrinology fellows. She is affiliated with Parker Clinic in Red Bank, which provides free medical treatment to patients who don't have health insurance. Dr. Kargutkar focuses on combining allopathy, Ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, and holistic medicine to bring the best results for her patients. She will be starting her classes of healing meditation for her patients very soon.
