Dr. Gurleen Kaur’s Approach to Holistic Health
Dr. Gurleen Kaur is a highly accomplished physician with triple board certifications in Internal Medicine, Nephrology, and Integrative Medicine. She brings over a decade of experience in patient care, academic medicine, and leadership, making her a pioneer in blending traditional medical practices with holistic, patient-centered care.
Dr. Kaur began her medical career at Loyola University’s MacNeal Hospital in Illinois, where she completed her Internal Medicine residency and was appointed Chief Resident, a role that highlights her clinical excellence and leadership skills. She continued her medical journey with a fellowship in Nephrology at Emory University in Atlanta, one of the nation’s leading healthcare institutions, where she was again honored as Chief Fellow. During her time at Emory, Dr. Kaur developed a deep understanding of kidney health. However, along her journey, she realized her true passion lies in addressing diseases at their root. This led her to pursue a career in primary care, recognizing that many common health conditions share similar risk factors. Her expertise extends to managing complex chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, asthma, COPD, and infectious diseases. She also specializes in nutritional counseling, preventive health, women’s and men’s health, general lifestyle management, and treating common infections.
Experience Compassionate, Patient-Focused Care
In her pursuit of excellence, Dr. Kaur has held prestigious academic roles, including serving as Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Renal Disease and Hypertension at George Washington University’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences. There, she provided cutting-edge care for patients while also training future healthcare providers. During her time at GW University, she started their preventive nephrology and hypertension clinic where she helped numerous patients improve their lives and prevent progression of their kidney disease.
Dr. Kaur is also a certified Hypertension Specialist by the American Society of Hypertension, demonstrating her commitment to helping patients manage high blood pressure, one of the most critical factors in preventing heart and kidney disease. She further enhanced her expertise by completing a fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the renowned Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. This training allowed her to explore the use of complementary therapies, such as nutrition, mind-body practices, and lifestyle changes, in conjunction with traditional treatments to provide holistic care that addresses the root causes of illness.
Her passion for integrative care led her to establish Reliance Medical Center, where she combines her vast medical expertise with a holistic approach to healthcare. Dr. Kaur believes in treating the whole person—physically, emotionally, and mentally—rather than just focusing on symptoms. She is currently pursuing advanced training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine, further equipping her to help patients achieve optimal health by addressing the underlying causes of disease.
Comprehensive Care for Atlanta, Suwanee, and Beyond
At Reliance Medical Center, Dr. Kaur is committed to offering individualized care that is evidence-based, integrative, and patient-focused. She works closely with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that incorporate the best of conventional medicine alongside integrative therapies like nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle modification. Her goal is not only to manage diseases but to help her patients thrive and reach their full health potential.
Dr. Kaur’s vision for Reliance Medical Center is to create a space where patients receive compassionate, comprehensive care that blends the best of modern medical practices with holistic approaches.
