About Our Practice

Kirkland Newborn Medicine

Board Certified Pediatrician • IBCLC

Kirkland Newborn Medicine was founded with a simple mission: to provide the kind of unhurried, compassionate newborn care that new parents deserve.

We saw how rushed and impersonal pediatric care had become—15-minute appointments, insurance paperwork taking priority over patient care, and parents leaving with unanswered questions. We created something different.

Our practice is focused exclusively on the "fourth trimester"—those critical first three months when babies and parents need the most support. Extended appointments mean we have time for what matters most. No insurance hassles mean we can focus entirely on you and your baby.

We believe calm, confident parents raise happy, healthy babies. Our goal is to give you both the medical expertise and the reassurance you need during this transformative time.

Philosophy

Our Philosophy of Care

Unhurried

We schedule generous appointment times so we can focus on what matters most to you without feeling rushed.

Evidence-Based

Our guidance is grounded in the latest medical research and AAP guidelines—not trends, fear, or judgment. You'll get honest, science-backed advice.

Empowering

We don't just treat babies—we empower parents with the knowledge and confidence to trust their instincts and make informed decisions.

Personal Note

Why We Started This Practice

Kirkland Newborn Medicine was built by a physician who experienced firsthand the gap between what new parents need and what traditional pediatric practices can offer.

We know those early weeks can be overwhelming—the joy, the exhaustion, the constant questions. That understanding, combined with deep clinical training, shapes how we care for every family we see.

We can't wait to meet you and your little one.

Kirkland Newborn Medicine opens in 2027 in Kirkland, WA.
