Dr. M. R. Ghanta, 66, of Oakdale, Louisiana, passed away on August 21, 2015. Dr. Ghanta was a devoted husband, dedicated father, loving grandfather, and caring physician whose greatest pleasures were his family, his patients, world travel, gardening, and charity.

He immigrated to the United States and completed an internship at Detroit Macomb Hospital in 1976 and residency in pediatrics at Pontiac Affiliated Hospitals in 1978.
Dr. Ghanta then established a family practice in Oakdale in 1978 and has cared for thousands of children and adult patients. He served as Chief of Staff of Oakdale Community Hospital and Medical Director of Allen Oaks Nursing Home and Harbor Hospice. Dr. Ghanta took special pride in joy in caring for people from all walks of life in the Oakdale community.
Dr. Ghanta frequently spoke of his philosophy of life: "Work Hard. Live Right." He embodied this in all aspects of his life, serving as a role-model to his friends and family.
Dr. Ghanta is survived by his wife of 42 years, Prabhavathi; his son and daughter-in-law Ravi and Sharmila Ghanta and grandsons Avighna Ram and Ashvin Krishna Ghanta of Charlottesville, VA; and his son Rajesh Ghanta of Houston, TX. He also is survived by 6 brothers and 1 sister.

He was our family doctor for many many years. We were very happy to have him taking care of us for so long. We were upset to hear of him being sick. More upset to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed. :(

Dr. Ghana served as Medical Director at Fair Oaks Nursing Home in Hineston, prior to it closing in 2005. He was a compassionate physician who cared for many people in the surrounding communities around Hineston. He truly cared about his patients, and he will be missed by many. He truly believed his purpose was serving others, and he done that job so well.
