Sri Lakshmi Hyndavi Yeruva, MD

Why I chose to pursue a career in medicine: As a very inquisitive and ambitious person, I was always keen on pushing my limits to achieve better out of myself. Very early on I was attracted to biological sciences, and as I grew older, I realized medicine was my perfect match. With years of training and experience, I could provide uncompromising care for patients which gives me immense satisfaction.

What patients should expect when they come to an appointment with me: During medical school I used to wonder how the mere word, “CANCER,” could create so much turmoil in the lives of patients and their families. From my own experience of losing someone close to me for cancer, made me more determined to fight cancer and take oncology. I bring best available care and equip my patients and families with all the tools needed in their fight against cancer. I’m very thankful that I could serve and provide support as they are trying to navigate through one of the most difficult and challenging phases of their lives.

What I do when I’m not seeing patients: I’m a mom of two kids with a loving and caring husband. I spend most of my free time with them. We like to travel, cook and enjoy tasting different cuisines.
