A native of Southern California, Dr. Kramer grew up in Los Angeles and attended UCLA for her undergraduate education.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends individuals be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.

Among her various accolades, Dr. Kramer has been the recipient of the Patients’ Choice Award (2014, 2013, 2012, 2011), On-Time Doctor Award (2014), and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2014).
