Dr. Gina Hou is a dedicated and compassionate pediatrician committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for infants, children, and adolescents. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Andrews University in Michigan before pursuing her medical education at Loma Linda University in Southern California, where she completed medical school, residency, and specialized training in neonatal intensive care.
During her time at Loma Linda University, Dr. Hou developed extensive experience in managing critically ill newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Her work in neonatal care strengthened her expertise in caring for premature and medically complex infants, reinforcing her deep commitment to providing comprehensive and family-centered care. After years of dedicated practice in Loma Linda, CA, she transitioned to general pediatrics, where she could further support children’s growth and development from infancy through adolescence.
Dr. Hou maintains a strong clinical interest in newborn care and pediatric patients with complex medical histories, ensuring that families receive the guidance and support they need for their child’s health and well-being. She values building trusting relationships with patients and parents, fostering a collaborative approach to pediatric care.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Hou enjoys cooking, baking, and exploring new places with her husband, Phil. She embraces lifelong learning, both in medicine and in her personal interests, always seeking new experiences that enrich her perspective as a physician and caregiver.
“Dr. Gina is the best! She’s very attentive, explains everything clearly, and always checks to make sure you understand or if you’d like her to explain more. She’s calm and gentle with my baby, and she truly listens to our concerns.”
