Services
Care that follows your child from birth through adolescence, and your family every step of the way.
I see both member and non-member patients for many of the services below. If you are not yet a member and would like to learn more about joining the practice, visit the Membership page.
Care by Life Stage
The first weeks after birth are among the most intense of any family's life, medically and emotionally. I conduct newborn rounds at Cedars-Sinai and am available from the day your baby arrives, guiding you through feeding, sleep, development, and the adjustment of a new person at home.
Development in the first two years is faster and more consequential than at any other point in life. We follow growth, nutrition, sleep, motor skills, language, and social and emotional development as an ongoing conversation about who your child is becoming, not as boxes to check.
Preschoolers are building identity, testing limits, and learning to exist alongside other people. This stage brings new questions about behavior, school readiness, and whether what you are seeing is typical development or something worth a closer look. I offer experienced, evidence-based answers you can trust.
The goal at this stage is not just healthy, it is thriving. We address physical health, academic pressure, screen use, sleep, friendships, nutrition, and the emotional life of a growing child. If your child needs a specialist, I coordinate that care and stay involved throughout.
Adolescence is one of the most underserved periods in pediatrics. Hormonal changes, mental and emotional health, weight, body image, performance, and identity are all in motion at once. I take teenage health seriously, and I know how to talk to teenagers, directly and without judgment.
Leaving home is a significant health transition that deserves real preparation. I help young adults take ownership of their own health, from managing care without a parent present to mental health, sleep, nutrition, and the move to adult medicine. My goal is to send them off prepared.
Services
Comprehensive visits at every stage, built around The Thriving Child Framework™. Every dimension of your child's health is addressed, not just the clinical benchmarks.
Same-day availability for members. I also see non-member patients for sick visits based on availability.
Available for patients in the Los Angeles area. Convenient for follow-ups, minor concerns, and questions that do not require an in-person visit.
Available when clinically warranted. I come to you when that is what your child or family needs.
I follow AAP and CDC guidelines for childhood vaccination. I do not accept patients who wish not to vaccinate, and I do not provide medical exemptions.
Age-appropriate screenings and laboratory work, ordered and interpreted within the context of your child's full health picture.
Thorough assessment of your child's developmental progress, with referrals and coordination when additional support is needed.
An area I take seriously and address at every visit. When further evaluation or support is needed, I coordinate with trusted specialists.
Food is foundational to a child's physical and cognitive development. I assess nutrition as part of every well visit and offer focused evaluations when warranted.
Gut health affects far more than digestion. I assess it as part of the whole child picture and address it directly when it is a factor in a child's overall wellbeing.
Comprehensive evaluation of a child's readiness for school: academically, developmentally, socially, and emotionally.
Detailed evaluation of growth patterns, with attention to the full range of factors that influence how a child grows.
Pre-travel health preparation for families traveling domestically and internationally, including destination-specific guidance and recommendations.
I offer thoughtful second opinions for families navigating complex diagnoses or treatment decisions.
When your child needs a specialist, I do not simply hand you a name. I coordinate the referral, stay in communication with the specialist, and remain your child's primary advocate throughout.
When hospitalization is safe and warranted, I can admit your child directly to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where I serve as an attending physician.
I welcome families whose child was born through surrogacy. Care in the newborn period is the same as for any family, with particular attention to bonding and the early relational foundations that matter most in those first weeks.
Parenting questions do not always have a medical code. I make space for them anyway, within every visit, as part of how I practice.
