Dr. Kasireddy is an endocrinologist in the CMH-OHSU Health Endocrinology Clinic. She joined the clinic in November 2024. Q: What is the best part of your job? A: “I enjoy the opportunity to maintain long-term relationships with my patients and work with awesome colleagues in our Endocrinology Clinic.” Q: What do you do to connect with patients? A: “I share funny anecdotes from my personal life to make patients comfortable. I equip them with the knowledge to make informed decisions and support them throughout the process.” Q: Why did you choose your medical specialty? A: “Endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism — the name itself shows how broad the specialty is. Even as a medical student, I was amazed by the variety of glands and hormonal pathways in the human body. I enjoy the analytical aspects of the subject, but seeing patients learn about the disease and take ownership of their health is everything.” Meet a CMH provider Amulya Kasireddy, MBBS CMH-OHSU Health Endocrinology Clinic
