Poonam Vijayvargiya, MD

I approach my patients with a passion for making a positive difference in their lives. I strive to create a caring environment where I use my pediatric expertise to help families and listen to their concerns. As a pediatrician, I aim to be an advocate for children at all levels. I truly believe that learning is a lifelong process, and I aspire to stay updated on current pediatric research.

A person is molded by the milieu in which he has been brought up. My family's immense respect and admiration for physicians fueled my desire to become one myself. Being the eldest of seven siblings, I developed a sense of responsibility and affection towards children. Thus, during medical school, I was immediately drawn to pediatrics, which led me to volunteer for various outreach camps to help poor children. I love pediatrics because it embraces the concept of compassionate care in conjunction with the principles of preventive medicine.
