Philosophy of Care

As an advocate for children's health, I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment for my patients and their families. As a provider I encourage open discussions regarding diagnosis, treatment and management, and focus on providing an individualized treatment plan that best benefits my patients. I enjoy building lasting relationships with my patients and work hard to displace any fears or misconceptions regarding their endocrine issues.

Many endocrine conditions are chronic and require ongoing close follow up. I am committed to providing up-to-date evidenced based medicine and ongoing education to help patients and families take control of their health.

Clinical Interests

Dr. Mody is a pediatric endocrinologist offering care for children and adolescents with various endocrine conditions including diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, pituitary and adrenal disorders, as well as disorders of puberty and growth. Her clinical interest and expertise is in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), an increasingly common endocrine condition related to hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and often insulin resistance. Dr. Mody currently is offering care to adolescents with PCOS in her Multidiscplinary Adolescent PCOS (MAP) clinic at UC Davis.  She also works alongside Pediatric Neurology in the Leukodystrophy clinic, with a clinical interest in adrenal insufficiency associated with X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD).

Research/Academic Interests

Dr. Mody's academic interests include Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, obesity, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). She has a particular interest in alternative approaches to diagnosing and managing PCOS in both adolescents and young adults. Her research primarily focuses on improving our understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology around PCOS as well as management of this disorder in adolescent females.
