Bio

Sinduja Kilaru, MD (she/her/hers) joined DFMCH as a resident in 2024. She is drawn to family medicine because of the specialty’s breadth of care, commitment to advocacy, and the understanding of patients within the greater context of their community. Her hometowns include Fenton, MI and Ann Arbor, MI. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biomolecular science from the University of Michigan. While an undergraduate, she worked at a Detroit nonprofit and created summer camps that provided free and subsidized childcare to over 230 children. Sinduja also was a research assistant for a National Institutes of Health study on the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes-Neonatal Neurobehavior and Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants (ECHO) at Harbor-UCLA. She then earned her medical degree from the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. While in Chicago, she volunteered at Community Health Clinic, the largest free clinic in the nation. Her experiences throughout her training have led Sinduja to her interests in integrative medicine, reproductive health, and child and adolescent behavioral health. She is committed to actively listening to each of her patients and being a part of their story. Outside of medicine, Sinduja enjoys reading, yoga, spending time with friends and family, and hiking.
