The endocrinology APP at Good Shepherd practices in a stable outpatient setting with a clearly defined scope, a consistent referral base, and meaningful ancillary support. Patient volume is predictable, the schedule is protected, and there is no call obligation. The role centers on chronic disease management and long-term follow-up.
Day-to-day care focuses on the bread of general endocrinology. The staff endocrinologist handles the most complex pituitary and adrenal pathology, giving the APP room to own a high volume of diabetes and thyroid continuity care while still rotating into the broader case mix.

The APP practices alongside a direct support team and benefits from the Good Shepherd Medical Group infrastructure.
Good Shepherd operates a dedicated Diabetes and Nutrition Center recognized by the American Diabetes Association. This is a significant asset for endocrinology patients and reduces the teaching and education burden on the provider.
The APP practices under the collaborative agreement of Sandeep Kunwar, MD, who remains available for consultation on complex cases. Day-to-day practice autonomy is high. The collaborative structure is designed to keep the APP fully productive while maintaining access to physician expertise when needed.
