I believe in meeting children and their families where they are especially since navigating neurologic conditions can be quite intimidating. I aim to always explain my thought process and take in families' input so that we work as a team in addressing their child's medical issues together.
Dr. Galindo is a general pediatric neurologist who cares for children with various neurologic conditions related to cerebral palsy, tic disorders, developmental delays, and seizures. She has a special interest in headache management, including complicated migraines and post-traumatic headaches.
