About Me

Philosophy of Care

Dr. Nancy Zises believes that pediatricians and parents should work together as a team with the shared goal of raising happy, healthy children. She is committed to listening carefully to parents' concerns while helping children feel as comfortable as possible during their visit, recognizing that a doctor's office is not always a child's favorite place to be.

Dr. Zises is known for bringing warmth and humor to her practice, often singing to children during exams to help distract and reassure them, although she jokingly admits she is not the best singer. She is dedicated to answering questions honestly and providing families with the most accurate scientific information available. Dr. Zises considers it a privilege to partner with families in caring for their children's health and believes that a little fun and laughter along the way can often be the best medicine.

I support the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) and the California Dept of Public Health's (CDPH) guidelines and schedules on vaccinations to protect your child's and the community's health.
