Meet Dr. Vanita D. Shori
By the age of 10, Vanita Shori, M.D., had already decided she would grow up to become a doctor. During a pediatric rotation in medical school it was the amazing spirit, courage and happiness of the kids that led her to become a pediatrician.
Dr. Shori grew up in Okemos, Michigan. She attended College of Human medicine at Michigan State University and did her pediatric training at Women and Children's Hospital at USC in California.
She joined Cook Childrens in 2001. Her favorite part of her job is making a connection with kids and parents - watching babies grow into beautiful young children and then on to active adolescents.
Dr. Shori is committed to delivering excellent and compassionate care, making certain to listen to the concerns of the parents and kids she sees, and fully answering their questions. She has a particular interest in development, newborn education, ADHD, asthma management and children struggling with obesity and overweight issues.
On a personal note, her hobbies include reading, traveling, exercising, attending motivational and spiritual seminars and spending time with her family. As a busy mom of two boys she enjoys attending their basketball games and debate tournaments.
Dr. Shori is also very active in community service and she has served as a board member of Cook Childrens Physician Network.

Dr. Shori is so gentle and kind. She takes the time to encourage my daughter, listen, and give sound medical advice. My older daughter phased out of care and still teases she wants to go back at 20 to have Dr. Shori! My 16 year old admires Dr. Shori and appreciates her greatly and so do I as a parent. Not many pediatricians treat teenagers with this much respect. Thank you, Dr. Shori for inspiring both of my daughters over the years! We are thankful for you.
