I have no words to thank Dr. Karla. We met her during one of the hardest moments we have lived as first-time parents, when our 2-month-old baby had a breathing emergency. From the moment she walked into the office she gave us peace of mind.

No tengo palabras para agradecer a la Dra. Karla. La conocimos en uno de los momentos más difíciles que hemos vivido como primeros padres, cuando nuestra bebé de 2 meses tuvo una emergencia por dificultad respiratoria. Desde que entró al consultorio nos dio tranquilidad.

Dr. Karla saw my children after many pediatricians who gave no solutions, and I was truly amazed. My children loved her. She is very professional and dedicated.

Excellent pediatrician. From the first visit she gave us a great deal of confidence. She is always available when a question comes up and, if the situation requires it, she sees us urgently and guides us right away.

In my baby's first year I have visited several pediatricians, and I had never seen my baby as comfortable as with her. Something I appreciated is that she refers you to other specialists when necessary.

En 1 año de mi bebé he visitado varios pediatras, no había visto a mi bebé tan cómodo como con ella. Algo que aprecié es que te redirige a otros especialistas si es necesario.

Comprehensive care, no extra specialists

Everything your baby needs in the first year, in one office

90% of Dr. Karla's patients are under one year old. That is why she designed a practice that resolves the essentials without sending parents from one specialist to another, with the well-child checkup in Santa Fe (in Spanish) as the cornerstone of month-by-month follow-up. Find out why she is a recommended pediatrician in Mexico City (in Spanish) for dozens of families.

Sleep and feeding routines without a sleep coach

She designs and structures the baby's routines during the visit, solving what many parents pay a sleep coach for separately.

Complete complementary feeding

Guidance on starting purees and solids, with no need for an additional nutritionist.

Double vaccination: Mexican + American

Vaccination schedule following the Mexican protocol, with the option of the American protocol — both given in the same office. See the full vaccination schedule in Mexico City (in Spanish).

Minor pediatric emergencies in the office

Bronchiolitis and mild pneumonia can be nebulized and treated directly in the office, without going to the emergency room — thanks to her experience as an attending physician at ABC Hospital. Learn how pediatric emergencies work in Santa Fe (in Spanish).
