Dr. Ofir Mekel

Ofir (“Dr. O”) was born in New York City and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 6. Inspired by her San Fernando pediatrician, she has wanted to be a pediatrician for as long as she can remember. Ofir earned her undergraduate degrees in Psychology and in Public Health from The University of California, Berkeley. She went on to obtain a Master of Science degree from the University of Southern California, and then received her Medical Degree from The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Ofir completed her pediatric residency training at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), after which she was given the honor to serve an additional year as Chief Resident. She is a board-certified Pediatrician and Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition, as a Certified Lactation Counselor, she has training in lactation and breastfeeding medicine. Ofir was an Assistant Professor at USC and practiced as a General Pediatrician at CHLA prior to joining our office. Happily married to her college sweetheart, Derek, Ofir is a proud mom of 2 children from whom she learns every day. She is thrilled to now have her own practice in the community where she was raised, and enjoys building trusting and lasting relationships with patients and their families.
