Breast cancer specialist Nikhila Kethireddy, M.D., sought a career in medicine because of her fundamental dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. She loves interacting with patients and finds herself inspired by their strength and bravery. Her approach is to treat each patient as if they were a member of her own family.
Dr. Kethireddy grew up in Southern California and sees the opportunity to serve the local community as a dream come true. On the path to her work in medical oncology, she was named top of her class in medical school and gained extensive experience providing education and care for chronic conditions to underresourced communities in rural India.
In her free time, Dr. Kethireddy enjoys exercising — particularly running and hiking — spending time with family and visiting vineyards.
