Shivanandan Reddy, MD

My care philosophy emphasizes building strong relationships, providing education, and ensuring the right plan of care for each patient. By fostering trustworthy alliances with families, we can work together to ensure a healthy future for their children.

I pursued a career in healthcare because it combines my love for science with my passion for teaching. I enjoy teaching my patients and their families about their bodies daily. Building long-term relationships and "growing up" with my patients is something I genuinely cherish.

While I enjoy all aspects of general pediatrics, I have a particular passion for adolescent medicine. The teenage years are crucial for development, and I find fulfillment in being a positive influence during this challenging time.

Families should know that I always prioritize their child's best interests. I explain treatment plans and provide information on what to expect. I am committed to making well-founded medical decisions using the vast resources available to us.

I was drawn to pediatrics for its warmth and soul. It’s hard to be upset when surrounded by the laughter, awe, silliness, and curiosity of children. I love making a positive impact from a young age and instilling good habits in my patients and their families that will benefit them throughout their lives.
