About Matheena Akhtar, MD

Philosophy of Care

Good health is a lifelong pursuit and health in later life is often predicated by behavior and interventions earlier in life. Preventive care in children is an opportunity, even an obligation, to address problems early in a person's life.This is not only to ward off a later condition, but to give children the best chance for a fully productive life.
