Dr. Catalina Espina
I am a pediatrician focused on the comprehensive development of children and adolescents, especially those who are neurodivergent or have special health care needs.
Pediatrics guided by science, listening with the heart.
It doesn’t label or compare; instead, it supports families with empathy, clarity, and respect for their rhythms and realities.
Evidence-Based Practice
I work with up-to-date evidence, integrating science with a respectful perspective on each child’s development.
Respect for Diversity
I support families without judgment, valuing the diversity of family structures, contexts, and ways of experiencing health.
A Human Approach
I listen with attention and empathy, creating a space of trust and genuine care.
Empowering Every Story
I support every family’s story, respecting their individual pace, strengths, and journey.
