Our team
Dr. Elise Cardenas, MD, FAAP
Founder and Medical Director
Focus: Newborn care, breastfeeding medicine, complex care coordination
Dr. Cardenas founded Meadowlark to practice the kind of pediatrics she believes in: unhurried, warm, and built around the whole family. She has a special interest in the newborn period and in supporting new parents through the first year.
She believes the best care starts with listening, and she takes the time to make sure families leave every visit with a clear plan and their questions answered.
