Biography
Dr. Reddy grew up in Tyler, Texas, and went to Chapel Hill High School. He went to
Texas A&M University as a pre-med student, where he obtained his undergraduate degree
in Psychology in 2016. He then stayed at Texas A&M College of Medicine, spending the
last three years of medical school in Austin, Texas, as part of the school’s Round
Rock Campus. After obtaining his medical degree in 2020, he moved to Houston, Texas,
where he completed his pediatric residency at UT Houston Health Science Center (McGovern
Medical School). Upon completing his residency, he worked as an urgent care physician
with Texas Children’s before moving back to Tyler to start his career as a general
pediatrician at UT Fifth Street Clinic. Dr. Reddy is also employed as a clinical faculty
physician at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler under the UT Tyler
School of Medicine, where he serves as a TOPS (Teacher of Outstanding Physician Skills)
Facilitator.
Dr. Reddy pursued a career in healthcare because it combines his love for science
with his passion for teaching. He enjoys educating his patients and their families
about their bodies daily. Building long-term relationships and "growing up" with his
patients is something he genuinely cherishes. He was drawn to pediatrics for its warmth
and soul. “It’s hard to be upset when surrounded by the laughter, awe, silliness,
and curiosity of children. I love making a positive impact from a young age and instilling
good habits in my patients and their families that will benefit them throughout their
lives.” He also has a particular passion for adolescent medicine and is committed
to being a positive influence on teenagers during this challenging time.
