Thoughtful, Comprehensive Pediatric Care for Every Stage of Childhood

Concierge Pediatric Care

Our practice is built around a concierge model so I can care for a smaller number of families and provide more personalized access and attention.

This allows for:

  • Longer, unrushed appointments
  • Same or next-day visits when needed
  • Direct communication with your pediatrician
  • Minimal waiting and a calm office environment
  • Preventive, relationship-based care

My goal is for families to feel supported and never rushed. I take time to understand each child’s health history, personality, and developmental journey so care can be truly individualized.

Newborn & Infant Care

The early months of life are both joyful and overwhelming for many families. I provide supportive, thorough care for newborns and infants, helping parents feel confident and reassured.

Services include:

  • Newborn visits and feeding guidance
  • Growth and developmental monitoring
  • Sleep and routine guidance
  • Vaccination discussions and planning
  • Parental support and education

My goal is to provide calm, evidence-based guidance while respecting each family’s parenting style and values.

Preventive & Wellness Care

Preventive care forms the foundation of lifelong health. I focus on building healthy habits early while carefully monitoring development at every stage.

Wellness services include:

  • Annual and routine well-child visits
  • Growth and developmental screening
  • Nutrition and lifestyle guidance
  • Behavioral and emotional health support
  • School and sports physicals
  • Vaccination guidance and discussions

These visits are intentionally unhurried so we can address both medical and developmental concerns in a thoughtful way.

Holistic & Integrative Pediatric Care

I believe the best pediatric care combines the strengths of traditional medicine with thoughtful integrative approaches.

My integrative philosophy includes:

  • Evidence-based traditional pediatrics
  • Nutrition and lifestyle medicine
  • Preventive and root-cause thinking
  • Mind-body and emotional wellness
  • Conservative and thoughtful use of medications

Some families seek guidance on natural or complementary approaches, while others simply want a more comprehensive perspective. I work collaboratively with parents to develop a balanced plan that supports each child’s overall well-being.

ADHD & Attention Support

I provide comprehensive and thoughtful care for children and teens with attention, focus, and executive function challenges.

Families often come with questions such as:

  • Does my child have ADHD?
  • Should we consider medication?
  • Are there behavioral or lifestyle approaches that can help?
  • How can we support success at school?

My ADHD services include:

  • Comprehensive ADHD evaluations
  • Parent consultations and education
  • School and academic support strategies
  • Behavioral and lifestyle guidance
  • Nutrition and sleep support
  • Medication management when appropriate

Every child is different. My goal is to understand each child fully and create a balanced, individualized plan that supports confidence, learning, and emotional well-being.

Chronic Medical Conditions & Complex Care Coordination

Some children require more time, deeper evaluation, and careful coordination across multiple providers. Our practice provides dedicated support for families navigating ongoing or complex medical needs.

Dr. Sarabenet has special expertise in:

  • Chronic medical conditions
  • Complex or unclear diagnoses
  • Care coordination across multiple specialists
  • Second opinions on treatment plans
  • ADHD and developmental complexity
  • Long-term treatment planning

When a child has ongoing medical concerns, parents often feel overwhelmed managing appointments, recommendations, and differing opinions. We work closely with families to help organize care, communicate with specialists, and ensure that all aspects of a child’s health are thoughtfully integrated.

Our goal is to provide clarity, coordination, and reassurance so families feel supported every step of the way.

Nutrition Consult

Nutrition is more than just what children eat. It is a foundation for how they feel, grow, focus, and thrive.

Parents often find themselves asking:

  • Is my child eating the right foods?
  • Could nutrition be affecting their eczema, allergies, or attention?
  • How do we build healthy habits that actually last?

My nutrition consult include:

  • A More Personalized Approach to Pediatric Nutrition
  • Nutrition Support for Eczema, Allergies, and Inflammation
  • Building Healthy Eating Patterns That Last
  • Integrating Nutrition Into Whole-Child Care

Every child is different. My goal is to understand each child fully and create a balanced, nutritional plan.

Genomic Testing

For families seeking a more precise, individualized understanding of their child’s health, working with a pediatrician in Marin who integrates genomic testing can be transformative.

Dr. Sarabenet has special expertise in:

  • Advanced Genonomic Testing
  • A deeper understanding of their child’s health
  • From Data to Actionable Care
  • A Thoughtful, Evidence-Based Approach
  • A proactive, optimization-focused approach

Every child is biologically unique. Genomic testing is one tool that helps us move in that direction when used thoughtfully and in the right context.

Sick Visits & Acute Care

When children become ill, families need timely access and reassurance.

We provide:

  • Same or next-day sick visits when possible
  • Care for common childhood illnesses
  • Evaluation of new symptoms or concerns
  • Ongoing follow-up when needed

Because our practice serves a smaller number of families, we are able to offer more responsive care and continuity.

Parent Guidance & Partnership

Pediatric care is not only about treating illness — it is about supporting families.

I work closely with parents to provide guidance on:

Sleep and routines
Nutrition and feeding
Emotional and behavioral development
School challenges
Parenting questions and concerns

My goal is for parents to feel confident, informed, and supported in every stage of their child’s growth.

We invite you to schedule a relaxed introductory visit to see if our practice is the right fit for your family.
