DR. SWAPNA M. KALLIKADAN
Founder & Medical Director, Health + Glow
Dr. Swapna Kallikadan believes that looking your best and being your healthiest are the same goal. She built Health + Glow around that idea: one South Tampa practice where primary care, medical weight loss, aesthetic medicine, and IV therapy work from a single plan, led by a single physician who knows the whole patient.
She is board certified in Internal Medicine and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, a credential held by a small share of U.S. physicians that reflects advanced training in the medical treatment of weight. She has also completed an aesthetic medicine fellowship through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). She is a certified BioTE hormone provider and an expert physician in diVa laser therapy for women’s health.
Her training spans three continents and more than 20 years in medicine. She earned her medical degree at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, completed clinical rotations in India and England, and finished her residency at Drexel University in Philadelphia. She holds hospital affiliations with BayCare Health System, HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital, and Tampa General Hospital.
Dr. Kallikadan also teaches. Through the Health + Glow Academy, she trains other clinicians in aesthetic and integrative medicine, sharing the protocols she uses with her own patients.
Patients describe her the same way: thorough, warm, and invested in their results. Some travel from out of state to see her. Her approach is simple. Start with the science, build a plan around the person, and stay with them until it works.
Her expertise extends beyond the exam room. Dr. Kallikadan serves as a medical expert witness, providing case review and testimony in matters involving internal medicine, medical weight loss, and aesthetic medicine. Attorneys rely on her for clear, evidence-based analysis of the standard of care.
