FAMILY PRACTICE PROVIDERS

Priyanka grew up in Nepal before moving to the Bay Area for high school. That experience shaped her desire to help people, especially those who need access to health care. “It is with pride and pleasure to be doing something good for the community I live in. It brings me lots of happiness.” Priyanka has experience working with transgendered and immigrant populations, as well as urgent and primary care. When it comes to providing care, she believes the best course of treatment comes from listening closely to what patients have to say.

Dr. Tumber has lived most of her life in California and is excited to be part of Axis Community Health where she is able to provide quality care to the communities that the team serves. She truly enjoys working in family medicine and primary care because she has the opportunity to see patients grow up, grow older, and grow together. “Whenever I meet a new patient, I like them to know what my goals are for them and what kind of practice I do because it’s always intimidating to find a new doctor, so I try to put them at ease.” she says.  Dr. Tumber values shared-decision making, making plans together, and finding out what their goals are during visits with all her patients.

Dr. Zafer’s father, who was also a doctor, inspired her to work in healthcare. She chose family medicine because she values its focus on treating each patient as a whole person, and its emphasis on long-term doctor-patient relationships. In the exam room, she addresses a wide variety of health issues, and specializes in managing diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
