“From an obstetrical standpoint, I have the opportunity to share in the greatest day of a family’s life,” said Dr. Vuyyuru. “Almost every baby I deliver brings joy, which is an amazing thing to experience. If there is an issue that develops, I am there for the family emotionally and physically to help them through it. Fortunately, there are far more good days than bad, but even in the bad times, it’s rewarding that my patients trust me to be part of their lives.”
Dr. Vuyyuru earned her medical degree from the Guntur Medical College in Guntur, India and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich. Dr. Vuyyuru previously served as a physician with Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, Mo.
