Dr. Anita Kishen founded Kids Care Pediatrics with a deep commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to her patients. Inspired by her father’s dedication to medicine, she developed a strong passion for serving the community, first in India and later in Brooklyn, New York.

Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Kishen is actively involved in public health initiatives. She is a member of the New Jersey Immunization Network and participates in various educational programs through the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). She also serves as a medical advisor for a New Jersey health plan.

Recognizing the growing need for mental health support, Dr. Kishen launched a mental health program at Kids Care Pediatrics during the pandemic. Along with her team, she continues to engage in various initiatives to promote health and well-being for the families she serves. Her mission remains to ensure that every child receives the highest standard of medical care in a nurturing and supportive environment.

When she is not working, Dr. Kishen enjoys spending time with her family and friends and loves visiting New York City.
