About Susy Grajeda Tsuruta, MD

I’ve known my whole life that I was meant to serve children. Their resilience, honesty and desire to live has always left me with a passion for being their health care advocate. I can think of no better way to achieve this goal than to be their primary care physician and thus be with them every step of the way throughout their life (and maybe even the lives of their children). As a pediatrician, I am invested in your child’s long-term health and well-being. In order to accomplish this, I strive to foster a relationship that is built on mutual trust, shared decision making, learning and – whenever possible – elements of fun. Ultimately, quality evidence-based care is my goal for your little ones. I feel privileged and am humbled to have the opportunity to be a part of and contribute to each of their lives. Outside of work, my husband and our three young boys (including a set of identical twins) are my world. We have a blast doing anything from finger painting at home to spending full days outside.

Dr. Tsuruta is great! We never feel rushed with her. She explains things in a way that we can understand. She is always so kind too!

Dr. Tsuruta is the best pediatrician I've brought my daughter too. She's been seeing my daughter since 9 months old and has such an incredible gift. She has even helped me, as the main caretaker, in so many ways. Listening to my concerns, connecting me with resources, sharing ideas about things that could help. I was worried about my young daughter and people not respecting her boundaries and she recommended me some wonderful children's books that have helped my daughter and me so much! I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She's an incredible human and doctor.
