Overview

Dr. de Silva is an Assistant Professor of Medicine working as a Primary Care Physician in the Academic Internal Medicine Practice. Piyumika was born in Sri Lanka. She was raised in Sri Lanka for the most part as well, except for the small hiatus which she spent in England. For her medical education, she traded one paradise island for another and moved to Grenada to attend St. Georges University. She came to NYC for the first time on a whim, during a long layover, on her way back to Sri Lanka from Medical School. It was truly love at first sight! After medical school she chose to be at Rutgers NJMS for residency because it allowed her to serve the diverse inner city population of the NYC metropolitan area while working with equally diverse colleagues. When she is not at work you will find her out and about in NYC with last minute tickets to a Broadway show or music event!
