Ayesha Vohra, MD

I was born in Mumbai and spent the early years of my life in India before moving to the U.S. Since then, I’ve lived in more cities than I can count, but my family eventually settled in Richmond, Virginia, the place we now proudly call our second home. I attended UVA for undergrad and then went to MUSC in Charleston, SC, for medical school, where I fell in love with beaches, palmetto trees, and delicious food. I later moved to Nashville with my cat, Jaffar, who is both handsome and full of zoomies. Choosing Vanderbilt Health was easy: I’ve always had a strong interest in global anesthesia, and during my interview, I met some of the kindest, warmest, and most welcoming residents, faculty, and staff. Although we miss the low-country charm, I’ve been continually impressed by the teaching, mentorship, and phenomenal training I’ve received here. I would choose this place again in a heartbeat (and not just because Jaffar refuses to move again). In my free time, you can find me running, doing hot yoga, taking unnecessarily long walks, or exploring every corner of Music City with my husband, Gray. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’m always happy to chat!
