Dr. Maddukuri believes in thoughtful decision making based on existing scientific evidence and judicious use of endoscopy and other available tools. He also believes in making patients active partners in their own care.
Dr. Maddukuri’s decisions to pursue medicine and gastroenterology were influenced by various professional and personal experiences. He had early exposure to science as both his parents were PhDs who worked as professors in their local community college. He lost several family members to cancer and personally suffered from a liver-related illness as a child. These early experiences paved Dr. Maddukuri’s path to medical school, where his favorite professors happened to be gastroenterologists.
Outside of practicing medicine, Dr. Maddukuri’s interests include hiking, history, and politics. He’s also an avid sports fan. His favorite teams are the Indian cricket team and the Carolina Panthers. Dr. Maddukuri lives in Charlotte with his wife and two daughters.
