With a background in agriculture and drawn to the weather and multicultural nature of the location, he decided to start his nephrology practice in Stockton, CA, in 2001. Currently, he is the senior most of the seven nephrologists at San Joaquin Kidney Clinic. His care philosophy is to understand his patients’ life goals and to help them achieve these goals as best they can while continuously educating and partnering with them through their disease process.
Dr. Sagireddy has held numerous leadership positions at different hospitals in the Stockton area and has contributed tremendously to improve the care of the patients in the community.
