Ascension St. Vincent Family Medicine Residency

Class of 2028

Daniel Eby

Medical School: Lincoln Memorial University DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine

I grew up 2 hours south of Indianapolis in Jasper, Indiana. Next, I attended Saint Louis University where I studied marketing and found my interest in medicine. Through my training at Lincoln Memorial, I enjoyed most specialties, but I always fell back to wanting to see the patient as a whole person instead of individual parts. Through family medicine, I can do this and more! I am passionate about Osteopathic Medicine and searching for the root cause to our patients concerns. I am honored to continue my training at St. Vincent, where I am excited to grow and discover more of my interests in family medicine. Outside of medicine, I enjoy meditation, painting, lifting weights, hiking, and tennis.

Benjamin Eliott

Medical School: University of Pikeville Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine

I grew up just outside of Indianapolis in Fishers and attended undergrad at Wabash College in Crawfordsville. My wife, Janay, and I made our way to Pikeville, Kentucky, for medical school and are delighted to be back in Indy for residency!

I’m excited to start my journey as a family physician thanks to the opportunity to work with patients in all phases of life and health. My particular interests are in full-spectrum care with a focus on women and children’s health, osteopathic manipulative medicine, and care for underprivileged groups and identities.

Outside of medicine, I’m likely to be spending time with my wife, Janay; our son, Wilder; or our three dogs, Luna, Mollie, and Quentin. I also love watching Chicago sports (Go Cubs), weight lifting, reading, and brewing coffee.

Gina Gherardini

Medical School: New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine

I grew up in a small town south of St. Louis, went to undergrad in Springfield, MO, then ventured over to Arkansas for medical school. I am no stranger to moving for “the next step”. I grew up visiting Indy for my mom’s work and my own swim meets, so I am thrilled to get to spend the final step in such a wonderful city. I am very excited to join the St. V family to train and begin my journey in family medicine. The ability to care for each member of a family in all stages of life is what drew me to the specialty. My passions within family medicine include women’s health, obstetrics, and the opportunities in emergency medicine.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my fiance, snuggling up with my cat, Teddy, to watch our favorite shows, reading, and baking.

Born in Vijayawada and raised in Hyderabad, India, I recently moved to Indiana to fulfill my dream of becoming a family physician in the United States. We are a close-knitfamily of five—my little world. I am deeply passionate about patient care and believe that true healing transcends cultural and social barriers. It feels like a beautiful coincidence, or perhaps divine guidance, that I have joined Ascension St. Vincent Family Medicine—a place where I can live out the values I have always cherished.

Outside of medicine, you’ll often find me playing badminton, experimenting with Indian cooking, or enjoying long drives.

Lubhani Sharma

Medical School: Dayanand Medical College

I was born in India and moved to Canada as a teenager. After high school, I returned to India for medical school, inspired by my early experiences shadowing my mother at her clinic. During medical school, I found my passion for preventive care and community-based medicine. With my family now settled in the U.S., pursuing residency here felt like a natural next step.

Alongside medical school, I am completing a master's degree in Health Information Systems and Technology, which has broadened my understanding of healthcare innovation and patient-centered care. During my clinical rotations across the U.S., and through my work with street medicine and jail medicine programs, I developed a deeper commitment to serving vulnerable populations, experiences that reinforced my desire to treat patients holistically and advocate for healthcare access for all.

I’m especially interested in in-office procedures, improving healthcare access for underserved communities, mental health, and chronic disease prevention. What draws me to family medicine is the opportunity to provide comprehensive, long-term care while building meaningful connections with patients. I’m thrilled to start this new chapter of my life in Indianapolis.
