Dr. Khatri grew up in Trichy, India, and went to college at Sri Ramachandra Medical College. She came to the states to finish her doctorate at Texas Tech. 

With regard to hearing care, Pinky says it was “love at first sight.” While attending a university tour for her undergraduate program, she came across a brochure with a list of available courses; she read about their speech and hearing sciences program, looked at her parents, and told them, “This is it! This is what I’ve been looking for and what I want to be.” 

At the time, it was a new field, and her parents hoped she would become a doctor—but she stood her ground, and 25 years later she still loves audiology. Her office is her happy place! 

As clinic manager and an audiologist, Dr. Khatri loves the flexibility and freedom her position allows her, and she enjoys seeing patients when she fills in for absent providers. 

Outside of work, Pinky keeps herself busy with crochet, writing children’s books, and teaching leadership skills and mindfulness through ancient Bhakti literature teachings to elementary school children.
