Parents know their child best, and her role is to complement that insight with professional medical guidance, empowering families to make informed decisions about their child's health. Each step of a child's health journey is important, and she is there to provide support, whether addressing health concerns or celebrating achievements. Every checkup is an opportunity for. Dr. Zhou to witness a child's growth and development, a journey she is honored to be a part of. She looks forward to welcoming families, growing together, and celebrating each milestone in a child's life. 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. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Zhou enjoys cooking new recipes, reading, and spending time with her family. ## Education and training **Medical school:** UCSF **Residency:** Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, Pediatrics ## Board certifications -
