Rilina Ghosh

Full of energy, Dr. Ghosh is beloved by her patients for her enthusiasm and ability to connect with patients of all ages. Her love of children and pediatrics shows at each visit.

 

"I love seeing children every day as they have amazing spirits and resilience! It is a privilege to empower parents to trust their own abilities and appreciate their children for who they are. I love that I have the opportunity to partner with parents throughout their  journey through parenthood. "

 

Dr. Ghosh is particularly adept at discussing development and behavioral issues, sibling rivalry and family dynamics. In addition, she also is interested in the mind-body connection, mindfulness, and yoga. 

 

"I love working with parents and children. I love the partnership of teaching parents about their children, and, in turn, teaching children about their physical and mental health. Education is such an important part of pediatrics."
