Q&A with Dr. Vaadyala

What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?

Lion King

What is your favorite children's book and why?

The Magic Treehouse. The author made it easy for me as child to use my imagination and feel like I was a part of each adventure I read about.

What was your favorite childhood toy?

Transformers

Who is your greatest inspiration and why?

My parents inspire me due to the countless sacrifices they made to ensure a better life for me.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

I enjoy reading about history and going out on walks with my family and my puppy.

What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

I enjoy seeing children and families grow up and developing that long term connection with them as they navigate different parts of their child's life. I am passionate about newborn care and I have learned that supporting and uplifting new parents is every bit as important as
making sure that the baby is healthy. I truly enjoy my calling of being a physician and educator in the dynamic between families and their children.

What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?

I believe in transparency of information and knowledge with my patients. I truly believe in shared decision making with my patients/parents. I respect the values and personal beliefs that parents have and I seek a middle ground where evidence based medicine can support those personal values.
