Dr. Jana P. Kaimal was born in 1944 in the state of Kerala in India. After completing high school, college and medical education at the Institute of Medical Sciences in India, he decided to come to the United States "to see the world." By the age of 30, Dr. Kaimal completed his medical residency and training in Pulmonology in Michigan and Ohio. He became an Assistant Professor at Tulane University. Dr. Kaimal knew he wanted to go into practice for himself and although he had a medical license to practice in Michigan and Ohio, he loved Louisiana so much that he decided to stay in "Cajun Country."
