In this episode, we hear from Dr. Michelle Klein, a pediatrician at Uptown Pediatrics in NYC. Originally from California, Dr. Klein earned her BA in Neuroscience from UCLA, followed by a master’s degree in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University, and her medical degree from New York Medical College. Her journey continued as she completed her pediatric residency, chief residency, and pediatric endocrinology fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Klein is passionate about sharing her expertise with families and future pediatricians, and we are thrilled to have her on the podcast.

Dr. Klein shared her own personal NICU experience. Despite her familiarity with the NICU setting from working there numerous times, it was still quite overwhelming. One crucial piece of advice she imparts is the importance of finding your voice to advocate for both yourself and your child.
