Meet Dr. Rekha Sivadasan
Dr. Rekha Sivadasan has been passionate about pediatrics ever since she was a child. She remembered her own pediatrician fondly and often thought how wonderful it would be to follow in his footsteps. Dr. Sivadasan was born in London, UK and was raised in New York. She attended Barnard College at Columbia University in NY where she received her bachelor's degree in Biology, after which she completed her MPH at Columbia University School of Public Health. She worked as an intern for the NYC Dept of Health while pursuing her master's degree. Here, she developed an awareness of the striking disparities in healthcare across New York City and developed an interest in child advocacy.
Dr. Sivadasan graduated from St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies and completed her residency in pediatrics at Westchester Medical Center (now Maria Fareri Children's Hospital) in New York. After practicing in NY for four years, she moved to Dallas, Texas where she has been practicing ever since.
Dr. Sivadasan worked for Children's Health as a pediatrician with Children's Health Pediatric Group for twelve years, serving as lead physician at her practice for three years and then as an associate medical director for several Children's Health Pediatric Group clinics for five years. She is board-certified in pediatrics, and is a member of the following: AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), Texas Pediatric Society, and Collin-Fannin County Medical Society. She has been recognized as a "Mom-Approved" Doctor by DFW Child magazine.
Dr. Sivadasan enjoys traveling around the world with her husband and learning about different cultures. She also loves to curl up with a good book when she can! She enjoys cooking, dancing, listening to music and spending time with family and friends.
As a pediatrician, I know I have the opportunity have a great impact on a child's health and life. I like to focus on the child and the family. By working together as a team, we can help each child grow and thrive. And that is the goal of partnering with the families I see.

Nurse Stephanie has been amazing from the start so have the other nurses but she makes it a point to come say hello to the kiddos even if she isn't handling the visit and it makes them feel special. Doctor is also great she really cares about the kids.

My son was a new patient and they accommodated him same day because he was not feeling well. Receptionists, nurses, and Dr Sivadasan were great! Professional and thorough from check-in to the end of the visit. Great interaction with my son and I asked him what he thought about the visit and he said his new doctor Is amazing! That's enough confirmation to keep her as his new and long-term pediatrician. Thank you all for being so kind and professional!
