Get to know Lynda Chima Aririguzo, MD, MPH
Dr. Aririguzo is a general pediatrician and medical director of the GROW Clinic, a multidisciplinary center for young children with poor weight gain. Although many things can contribute to poor weight gain in young children, the GROW Clinic may be particularly beneficial for families experiencing socioeconomic stressors, feeding difficulties or challenging behaviors related to eating.
Dr. Aririguzo also works with Texas Children's Mobile Clinic program, which includes the SuperKids Mobile Clinic and the Ronald McDonald CareMobile. These clinics are funded by Texas Children's Hospital/Texas Children's Pediatrics with help from philanthropic donations from the community. The program has two important goals — to provide health care in the form of immunizations, regular check-ups and urgent care visits to uninsured or underinsured children, and to provide patient families access to both insurance and a medical home.
