What More Do You Need From Your Child’s Doctor? with Guest Dr. Elham Raker

The 6570 Family Project

Sep 14 2022 • 39 mins

In this episode, we are going to cover topics from the typical pediatrics exam to the places in pediatrics that are needing more attention (especially for teens and tweens) and how to transition our teens from the idea of the “little kid” doctor to taking their health more seriously, and into their hands, as a teen. We want them to be advocates of their wellness and how can we help that become a reality along their journey?

BIO:

Elham Raker is a board-certified pediatrician and parent coach. Over the span of her career, she has worked in many different clinical settings; such as inpatient hospital care, urgent care, private practice and even making house calls. What she realized during all these interactions is that she loved counseling and coaching parents the most. And this is how Ask Dr. Mom was born! A telemedicine and virtual coaching site to help parents with the overwhelm of parenting, from the comfort of their home by providing trusted information. (No more sketchy google searches!)

Outside of her work, she enjoys being a mom to her teen and preteen! Mostly as their chauffeur. She lives in Manhattan Beach, CA, and loves spending time in nature, walking, and running by the beach.
