Philosophy of Care

As a general pediatrician, my philosophy of care is grounded in fostering a collaborative, compassionate, and family-centered approach to the health and well-being of children. I believe that every child is unique, and my role is to support their growth and development by providing evidence-based medical care tailored to their individual needs. By building trusting relationships with both the child and their caregivers, I aim to empower families with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their child's health. My goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where children feel safe, respected, and heard, while ensuring that preventative care and early intervention remain at the forefront of my practice. Together, we work as a team to help each child thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.

I really appreciate that Dr. Rios is kind, compassionate, patient, and gentle with children. She doesn't push anything that we aren't comfortable with, and shows so much care while we are with her, which is exactly what we wanted in a pediatrician.

We had to wait 50 minutes, five zero minutes, before my daughter was seen by the pediatrician. I've never had to wait this long before. And no one came in to explain the wait. This was very frustrating.

Dr. Rios is very knowledgeable and she is extremely patient with her patients and the family members because as a mother, as a new mom, I have so many questions and she does not shrug it off or make it seem as if I don't know what I'm talking about or it's not important. She takes the time to explain stuff and we appreciate her.

It was easy to schedule the appointment. The doctor spent the perfect amount of time with my son, respected their boundaries when they were squeamish about exams, and did not rush us.

Dr. Rios was excellent. She had such a great outside manner. She was super calm. She made sure that my daughter was calm and could answer questions. She listened intently and gave great answers. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Rios. Thank you.
