Meet Dr. Smita S. Ranade

Deciding to become a pediatrician was a very easy choice for me. I always knew I wanted to be in profession where I could help people. Our family was blessed to have a primary care physician who was very kind, thoughtful, a good listener, compassionate and an excellent diagnostician. He inspired me to be doctor and my pediatric rotation as medical student instantly sealed the deal for me to become a pediatrician!

Boundless energy, innocence and enthusiasm of children keeps you young forever. I have been practicing pediatrics for over 15 years now and I'm grateful to my patients and their families for making this journey very rewarding. They have taught me to be patient, honed my listening skills and have put their unwavering faith in me.

When I'm not busy caring for kids at work, I love to travel to different parts of world, enjoy music, cook, read about history, ancient cultures and languages.

I really enjoyed meeting doctor and meeting with Dr. Smita Ranade. She's a great pediatrician. I appreciate that she listened to my concerns and she takes extra good care of my kids. – Patient family
