About Healthy Start Pediatrics

Healthy Start Pediatrics was established by Dr. Ashima Madan, a double-board-certified pediatrician and newborn specialist with several years of experience at Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. Our goal is to deliver quality personalized care for newborns, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) graduates, and children through 18 years of age from all socioeconomic strata. Our philosophy of care grew out of the recognition that easy access and continuity of care provided by a caring, well- trained pediatrician in a small practice setting is the better healthcare delivery model for primary care for children, whereas large multi-specialty organizations are better-suited for specialized acute and critical care. We further believe that an investment in preventive care in children through pre- and post-natal health education, periodic developmental screens, and health examinations for early detection of disease, is critical for a healthy adulthood, as much of adult health has its antecedents in fetal and early childhood phases.
