Katrin Lalezarzadeh, DO

Dr. Kathy Lalezarzadeh joined Boulevard Pediatrics in July of 2011. She was born in Iran as the youngest of 7 children and moved to Southern California at the age of 13. She completed her undergraduate degree in Psychobiology at UCLA and received her Osteopathic Medical degree as well as her Master’s degree in Health Professions Education at Western University of Health Sciences. She went on to complete her pediatric internship at Kaiser Permanente Sunset and her pediatric residency at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. Prior to coming to Boulevard Pediatrics, Dr. Kathy worked at the Kids Care Urgent Care at CHLA and as a hospital-based NICU physician at UCLA/Olive View Hospital.

She loves pediatrics because she gets to focus on prevention and healthy lifestyle to impact long-term health. Dr. Kathy’s traditional medical training balanced with her special interest in integrative medicine and nutrition gives her the ability to treat her patients more holistically and provide individualized care. She loves developing relationships with her patients and their families starting in the newborn period all the way through college.

Her special training in osteopathic manipulative medicine allows her to apply unique hands-on modalities to treat different conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries, migraines and tension headaches. Some of her special interests include treating and coordinating care for patients with eating disorders (i.e. anorexia, binge eating disorder), irritable bowel syndrome, ADHD, developmental delay, tics, depression and anxiety.

In her free time, Dr. Kathy enjoys hiking, yoga, meditation and travelling. She is currently accepting newborn patients and older children transferring into the practice.
