Puneeta Ramachandra, MD

Get to Know Me

I grew up in NJ and joined Nemours Children’s after a brief stint out west. I always knew I wanted to be a physician and grew up with lots of physicians in my family. I’m married and have a lovely, spirited daughter. We enjoy traveling, camping, going to the beach and cooking.

Why I Treat Children

I decided to pursue pediatric urology after having great experiences in residency. I love seeing smiles on the faces of my patients and their families when they feel better or have great surgical outcomes. The chance to make a child’s life better is such a rare and special opportunity. 

What I'm Passionate About

I’m passionate about delivering great quality care, advancing the field of pediatric urology and making kids’ lives better. I also have a passion for patient advocacy. As a child, I had my own medical problems and now, as an adult, I draw on those experiences to provide the best possible care for my patients.

How I Try to Make A Difference

I make a difference by incorporating best practices into my daily routine, ensuring the best care for my patients and their families.
