At Fig Tree Pediatrics, Dr. Levine is committed to creating a nurturing environment where children and their families feel heard, respected, and empowered. “Just like a fig tree provides shelter and nourishment, we strive to create safe and caring relationships with families,” she explains. “The fig tree’s deep roots and long life represent our commitment to providing steadfast and reliable care throughout childhood and adolescence, laying the foundations for a healthy future.”

Dr. Levine’s integrative philosophy encompasses a wide range of services, from newborn care to wellness physicals, from managing routine illness and injury to overseeing mental health.
