Giridhar Veerula, MD, FAAP, Double Board Certified in Integrative Pediatrics

In 1979, I began my medical career after graduating from the Institute of Medical Sciences at Osmania University in Hyderabad, Southern India. I briefly practiced in India and Jamaica, W.I., before completing my pediatric residency in Galveston, Texas.

In 1995, I established Jefferson Pediatrics with the belief that all children should have access to comprehensive preventative medicine. Throughout the years, my staff and I have worked to create a patient-friendly environment where parents feel heard and children receive exceptional healthcare.

Our practice specializes in a holistic approach that emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle and focuses on individualized care. In 2014, I became certified in holistic integrated medicine to better provide a more personalized approach. I specialize in integrative medicine and holistic pediatrics, with a special focus on autism, lactation consultation, and wellness changes.

In 2024, we are proud to announce the expansion of our practice to include adults. Our name has officially changed to Jefferson Pediatrics & Family Medicine with the addition of my son, Dr. Vijay Veerula. He shares my passion and commitment to holistic preventative care.

Together, with our dedicated staff, we strive to provide exceptional patient-based medicine for all ages.

Thank you for choosing Jefferson Pediatrics & Family Medicine.

Sincerely,

Dr. G.R.Veerula
