Fellowship-trained pediatric pulmonologist Saroj Choudhary, M.D., recently joined the medical staff at USA Health Children’s & Women’s Hospital and is accepting new patients at the Strada Patient Care Center.
“As a pediatric pulmonologist, I was drawn to this field by a deep desire to help children with respiratory conditions live full, active, and healthy lives without feeling limited by their diagnoses,” she said.
Choudhary said she is grateful to care for children with respiratory diseases and provide them with the necessary support. Continued advances in pediatric medicine have greatly improved survival rates for children with pulmonary complications.
“Seeing these children thrive despite their challenges is the most fulfilling part of my job,” Choudhary said. “Being part of their care journey as they grow and overcome obstacles is both a privilege and a driving force in my work.”
She most recently worked as a pediatric pulmonologist at Ochsner Hospital for Children in Jefferson, Louisiana, where she performed outpatient care and provided consultations in the emergency department.
Choudhary earned her medical degree at Sawai Man Singh Medical College in Jaipur, India. During her studies, she scored in the top 10% of her class for four consecutive years. Choudhary completed her residency at the Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in New York City. Then, she completed a fellowship in pediatric pulmonology at Langone Hospital in Long Island, New York. Her scholarly activity has focused on the early detection of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-related metabolic syndrome (CRMS) in infants.
In addition to her clinical activities, Choudhary is also an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Whiddon College of Medicine. The pulmonologist said her passion for teaching helped her decide to join USA Health, USA’s academic health system.
“I find great meaning in teaching and mentoring medical students and residents and contributing to the education of the next generation of physicians,” she said.
Choudhary is board certified in pediatrics and has been an active member of the American Academy of Pediatrics since 2017. “I want families to know that I am deeply committed to partnering with them – helping each child breathe easier, grow stronger, and achieve their fullest potential,” Choudhary said.
