Meet Dr. Vanessa Charette
As far back as she can remember, Vanessa Charette, M.D., has had a love of science, and interacting with people.

Dr. Charette joined Cook Children's as a board certified pediatrician. Today, as part of the Cook Children's Magnolia pediatrics office, she feels blessed to be part a pediatric practice that has been a Cook Children's legacy for over 70 years.
Dr. Charette embraces the many components that contribute to health: nutrition, physical activity, emotional/psychological stresses and the environment. As your pediatrician she will spend time with you discussing nutrition, child development and take the time to address any concerns you have about your child's health.
Dr. Charette earned her undergraduate degree at University of California, Los Angeles, and her medical degree at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). She completed her residency in pediatrics at San Diego Children's Hospital/UCSD. Dr. Charette became board certified in 2002.
