About Dr. Babu
A DMV native, home to care for her own community.
Raised in the DMV and proud to have returned, Dr. Sriya Babu brings advanced surgical training to Northern Virginia with a genuinely personal touch. Her patients consistently describe the same thing: a surgeon who listens, explains clearly, and never makes them feel rushed.

She is board-certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery.
