Meet Our Team

The Good Shepherd endocrinology team is currently a single-physician practice transitioning into a two-physician plus APP model. The incoming endocrinologist joins an established service line with strong support infrastructure and shares patient load with a board-certified partner.

Endocrinology Physician (Current)

Sandeep Kunwar, MD

Board certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism. Joined Good Shepherd in 2022 and leads the endocrinology service line. Completed Internal Medicine residency at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. Fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Fellow of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE).

Concurrent Endocrinology APP Hire

Good Shepherd is actively recruiting a dedicated endocrinology APP (NP or PA) to join the service line. The APP will support both physicians and operate under a collaborative agreement. Once filled, the team structure will be two endocrinologists and one APP.

Clinic Support Staff

  • Dedicated medical assistants
  • Shared care coordinator
  • Practice manager for clinic operations
  • Front office and scheduling support within Good Shepherd Medical Group

Diabetes and Nutrition Center

The endocrinology practice is supported by Good Shepherd's Diabetes and Nutrition Center, recognized by the American Diabetes Association. This infrastructure reduces the teaching burden on providers and allows them to focus on clinical management while patients receive structured education and lifestyle support.

  • Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists on staff
  • Registered dietitians providing nutrition counseling
  • Individual and group diabetes self-management sessions
  • ACT (Achieve, Conquer, Thrive) Program for lifestyle and metabolic support

Team Environment

The practice operates as a collaborative, physician-led unit with a growing but still small footprint. Clinical decision-making happens directly between physicians, the APP, and support staff, without the administrative overhead of a larger system. All Good Shepherd Medical Group providers are housed on a single campus, which supports fast curbside consults and tight relationships with primary care, internal medicine, and the specialty teams that refer into endocrinology.
