Dr. Carla Upperman-Xu

“My journey into medicine started with a fascination with how different parts of the body work together to keep us healthy and how modern medicine strives to heal us when they don’t. I became even more interested in medicine when studying neurobiology at Harvard and learning about how incredible the human brain is.

I chose pediatrics because I love working with children of all ages, seeing the uniqueness of each stage in life, and watching them grow from infants to young adults. It is a joy to be able to work with parents and families to help their children have the healthiest future possible, and I feel truly blessed to have such a dream job!”
