Temima Waltuch, MD
I am excited to have joined the Hackensack pediatric emergency department team in late 2020. My clinical and research interests include medical education, pediatric pre-hospital care, sickle cell disease and sleep-disordered breathing. I have published several peer-reviewed publications and presented my research both regionally and nationally. Additionally, I have been involved in several hospital-wide quality improvement initiatives.
Philosophy of Care
I am committed to provide excellent and compassionate care to every patient I treat in the pediatric emergency department.
