About Me

Nikhila Kethireddy, M.D., is a breast cancer expert who pursued a career in medicine out of a deep commitment to helping others. She values interacting with patients at City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte, finds inspiration in their strength and courage and strives to treat each patient as if they were a member of her own family. 

A Southern California native, Dr. Kethireddy is honored to care for people in the community she calls home. She graduated at the top of her medical school class and gained valuable experience providing care and education to under-resourced communities in rural India — an experience that deepened her passion for compassionate, patient-centered care. 

Outside of work, Dr. Kethireddy enjoys spending time with family, exploring new vineyards and staying active — especially hiking and running.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
