After 14 years in a busy group
pediatric practice, Dr. Tanya founded Calabasas Pediatrics, a concierge
practice providing
innovative and personalized
pediatric health care with an emphasis on nutrition, a healthy lifestyle and preventive medicine.
These perspectives include a developmental approach to health, an understanding of the advantages of prevention over remediation, and an awareness of the critical importance of effective advocacy to promote changes in well - established systems that influence child health and development, even when those systems lie outside the traditional realm of
pediatric practice.31 In this context, it is essential that
innovative and practical strategies continue to be developed that strengthen the capacity of the medical home to reduce sources of toxic stress and to mitigate their impact on the lives of young children.
