Meet Sri Uppalapati, MD

Dr. Uppalapati’s father inspired him to “enjoy learning” and seize higher education opportunities. This wisdom, along with his interest in biology and chemistry and helping others, led Dr. Uppalapati to choose a career in medicine. During medical school rotations, he discovered his passion for psychiatry and considers it the “ultimate privilege to learn about the complexities of the human body, mind, and soul and be a part of a patient’s life story.” 

After earning his medical degree from the Mahatma Gandhi Mission’s Medical College in India, Dr. Uppalapati completed a master’s in clinical psychology from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, and a general adult psychiatry residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City. Understanding the connection between mental health and getting good, consistent, restorative sleep, he completed a Sleep Medicine Fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

“Humans are unique and complex with different responses. So, by nature, psychiatry is a blend of science and art,” Dr. Uppalapati explains. “Taking a multi-dimensional approach using a Biopsychosocial model versus strictly adhering to a categorical model, I look at each patient as a whole when developing their individualized treatment plan.”

Dr. Uppalapati also delves into his patients’ quality of sleep. “Sleep isn’t just a dormant slumber state. Your brain is active while you’re asleep and plays a role in psychiatric conditions. Often, once patients get quality sleep, their medications can be reduced, and they experience improvement in conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.”

Communication, Collaboration, Teamwork

Dr. Uppalapati praises Connections Wellness Group’s full-service, team-based approach to patient care and commends the leadership for its vision and support. “We’re a well-integrated, collaborative team that shares ideas and learns from one another. Patients benefit from this continuity of care and the multiple services offered in one location.”
