Dr. Gonuguntla is a pulmonologist and critical care physician who sees adults with general pulmonary conditions.

He also cares for hospitalized patients in the intensive care units at Albany Medical Center and Albany Stratton VA Medical Center.

Board certified in internal medicine, Dr. Gonuguntla is a member of the American Thoracic Society, Society of Critical Care Medicine, and American College of Chest Physicians.
