Philosophy of Care

Dr. Munoz believes that a Pediatrician's role is not working just with the patient but also working alongside and collaborating with the family unit as a whole. He feels strongly that the pediatric visit is not only an opportunity to provide, safe, effective medical care, but also to ensure the wellness of the parents/guardians since they play such a significant role in the child's life. With his interests in well child care, Dr. Munoz provides a secure medical home for the families he cares for to ensure that a child/adolescent's wellness are optimized.
