Dr. Shang Chen Allison Wu is a board-certified pediatrician at Texas Children’s Pediatrics Corinthian Pointe, where she cares for infants, children, and adolescents with a focus on preventive care and healthy growth. Triple board certified in Pediatrics, Obesity Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Wu is passionate about helping families address weight-related health concerns early — before they become long-term problems.

· Evidence-based counseling for nutrition, activity, and lifestyle changes using a motivational interviewing approach

· Medication management when appropriate

· Ongoing family support to create healthy habits that last

As a first-generation American, Dr. Wu understands the unique challenges many immigrant families face and works to bridge cultural and language gaps in healthcare. She is fluent in English, Mandarin, Japanese, and Taiwanese and holds medical licenses in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan.

Dr. Wu feels honored to partner with families to improve children’s health and well-being — often in ways that can change the course of their lives for the better.
