VISTA PHYSICIAN GROUP PULMONARY MEDICINE
About Anu Cyriac, APN, FNP:
Anu Cyriac is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with Vista Physician Group, specializing in pulmonary care and supporting the evaluation, management, and ongoing treatment of patients with respiratory conditions. Her approach is grounded in a strong clinical foundation that includes internal medicine and extensive Medical ICU experience, where she cared for critically ill patients requiring advanced respiratory support, including ventilator management and treatment of acute respiratory failure.
This depth of experience directly informs her pulmonary practice—strengthening her ability to assess complex respiratory symptoms, anticipate clinical changes, and support patients across the full continuum of care, from acute illness to long-term management. She is dedicated to improving lung health and overall quality of life through coordinated, patient-centered care.
Anu earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University, completing the Family Nurse Practitioner specialty track. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Rajiv Gandhi University in Karnataka, India. Her clinical training includes family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, and outpatient care, allowing her to take a comprehensive approach to pulmonary health within the context of each patient’s overall condition.
In her role within pulmonary services, Anu works closely with physicians to support patients with both acute and chronic respiratory conditions. She assists in patient evaluations, coordinates pulmonary diagnostics, monitors treatment response, and reinforces care plans—ensuring continuity between hospital-based care and outpatient follow-up.
Anu takes a collaborative, patient-centered approach—prioritizing clear communication, education, and proactive management to help patients better understand their condition, improve breathing, and maintain long-term respiratory health.
