Dr. Sushma Indukuri, MD
Hello! I am Dr. Sushma, a Board Certified Pediatrician at Sunrise Pediatrics. With 15+ years of experience, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of pediatric healthcare settings, including private practices(Tri-Valley Pediatrics), Children’s hospitals(Stanford Healthcare) and community Health Clinics(GVHC).
I graduated from Osmania Medical College, which is among the Top medical colleges in India. I believe that my extensive education served me well for my success in the medical field. During my medical education, I participated in various community welfare programs like Pulse Polio Immunization and Small Family Norm. I was also an active member of BHUMI, an NGO, in which I used to attend the health camps conducted in the slums on weekends. I did my residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Chicago, where I did an award-winning research work on Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Low-Birth-Weight Infants. I published in a peer reviewed journal on a NIH funded study on “Defective mucosal movement at the gastroesophageal junction in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease”.
Even before I started my medical school, I knew I wanted to work with children. It is their innocence which draws me towards them. I believe a pediatrician has a tremendous long-term impact on physical, emotional and cognitive development of a child from birth to adulthood. Being a pediatrician gives us an opportunity to educate children and their parents about preventive measures against environmental and social factors like lead poisoning, childhood obesity, smoking, sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy and encourage healthy lifestyle for a better society. I believe in treating my patients the way I treat my kids.
Coming to my personal life, I am happily married with 2 kids. I like outdoors and actively
participate in local community activities. My hobbies include dancing and singing. On a rainy day, I like to get cozy in my couch and watch a movie while enjoying a popcorn.
