I love Dr. Kathuria! Her recommendation to use Aquaphor was great. I'm doing CeraVe first and then Aquaphor over that. The boys' skin doesn't get dry and ashy! On general, Dr. Kathuria has good advice and good recommendations. I've really enjoyed being with her.

She is a wonderful pediatrician! We have two children who are in her care and have seen other doctors in the same clinic and no one compares to her compassion to both her work and the children. She makes sure you are comfortable with everything and spends time answering ALL your questions. I really like the fact that if there are major health concerns it is her personally calling you or the staff calls back to check in and make sure you/child are doing okay and no further questions.

Our two children see Dr. Kathuria. She is patient, caring, honest, direct and prefers to not give drugs. As parents, we love her and our children do too.
