Omid Roostaeyan, MD

As a pediatrician, my goal is for patients and families to feel listened to and get their questions answered. I want them to feel like they can ask me anything because we?re on the same team.

I enjoy internal medicine and pediatrics because I get to take care of the whole family. I love seeing newborns, grandparents and everything in between. I also enjoy the opportunity to work in a faith-based health care system which is important to me.

Very early on in medical school I knew I wanted to work with children. I love pediatrics because kids are so resilient and can bounce back quickly to whatever is thrown their way. When it comes to the care, I provide my patients, I want parents to know that it is a partnership. We are a team - making choices together on how to best care for their children. Building relationships with families is so important to me as a physician. It is rewarding to see newborns and be by parent's side from day one, and I enjoy helping them grow into that new role.
