I am a very experienced pediatrician with extensive education and training in several tertiary institutions across the globe. I have deep compassion for children and their families and this reflects in the type of practice we run. With the child at the center of our philosophy, we do everything possible to ensure access to the medical home and primary care irrespective of what time of the day it is. We provide primary care services up to 9 pm daily. We also ensure that our patients have access to us through telemedicine/evisits and direct to doctor messaging from the comfprt of their homes and phones. Our clinic has minimal waiting times, and online appointment booking which makes for a better patient experience. Part of my clinical interest is in lactation for mothers. I partake in community training of health teams for lactation. I am also board certified in Obesity Medicine and do help patients of all ages maintain healthy weights.

We are dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and patient-centered care to children and adolescents. Our services focus on preventive healthcare, developmental and behavioral health, autism and developmental evaluations, acute and chronic conditions, and family education. We believe early identification of health and developmental concerns can make an important difference in a child’s well-being. We listen carefully to parents and caregivers, value their concerns, and work together to develop individualized plans of care. Whether through in-person or telehealth visits, we emphasize clear communication, prevention, education, and family involvement. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where every patient and family feels heard, respected, informed, and confident in their care.
