Meet Our Providers

Inspired by patients. Created for parents.

Arbor Pediatrics was founded on the belief that long-term relationships, continuity of care, and open, accessible communication with your pediatrician are essential elements to great pediatric care.

Congratulations!

At Arbor Pediatrics, we share your joy and enthusiasm, and look forward to partnering with you on the exciting journey of raising a child. We offer prenatal phone consults, a supportive team, and first-rate medical care for your new family member.

Take the pain out of pain reliever dosing.

Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you here on how much acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) to give, based on your child’s weight. (Benadryl too!)

Check out our upcoming events.

Sorry, we have no events scheduled at this time.

We are a vaccinating practice.

We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives, and we have complete confidence in vaccine safety. We believe that all children and young adults should receive the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Exam season can be stressful and exhausting, but maintaining healthy habits supports both physical and mental well-being. 

Encourage 7–9 hours of sleep per night, at least 8 cups of water daily, and 20–30 minutes of moderate exercise most days to help reduce stress and boost focus. Eating balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains provides sustained energy. Short breaks for deep breathing, stretching, or a quick walk can improve concentration and mental clarity. Limiting caffeine and skipping all-nighters also helps prevent burnout.

If your college student needs us while they are away, we can see if your insurance will cover a virtual visit. We want to offer support even from a distance!

Many teens benefit from safe over-the-counter acne products:

1) Benzoyl peroxide: reduces bacteria and inflammation

2) Salicylic acid: helps unclog pores
Differin gel: helps prevent new breakouts and treats inflammation

3) Gentle cleansers: avoid harsh scrubs that irritate skin

Always follow directions and start slowly to avoid dryness or irritation.

Did you know that up to 10–20% of children in the U.S. witness abuse of a parent or caregiver each year? 

This exposure can profoundly impact a child’s emotional, behavioral, and physical well-being, increasing risks for anxiety, school difficulties, and long-term health issues. 

Children aren’t always directly involved, but hearing or sensing conflict at home still affects them deeply. 

Your providers at Arbor Pediatrics can support you and your family by offering emotional health screenings, expert guidance, and connection to counseling or social services. If your home doesn’t feel safe or you’re concerned about your child’s well-being, reach out to us, we’re here to help guide and support your family.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, which can affect physical features, growth, and learning. 

Early intervention makes a big difference for children with Down syndrome. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and developmental support can help babies meet milestones and build independence over time. 

At our practice, we follow the AAP Bright Futures care guidelines for children with Down syndrome, using them to guide recommended labs, specialty referrals, and developmental screenings at each well-child visit. Regular check-ups allow us to track progress, celebrate achievements, and address challenges early.

If your child has Down syndrome and you’d like guidance on early support services, give us a call so we can help connect you with local resources.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor.”

Dr. Asgaonkar is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and respectful. She really listens to you and happily answers any questions you may have. My husband and I are so happy we found her for our baby. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Also, the office is SO CLEAN.
