Deepa enjoys being a pediatric therapist, because she loves getting to know children and families through helping them achieve their highest potential. She loves helping children and families in the city where she grew up. Deepa says the rewards to her job are seeing the children smile, laugh, and have fun while making meaningful progress in therapy. Deepa loves to see when children surprise themselves with what they can do and express genuine pride. 

Deepa says, “Sprout Pediatrics embraces the ‘it-takes-a-village’ mentality when it comes to working with children. At Sprout, we involve our families and join our colleagues in working toward the best quality of life for each of our clients. We are a family helping other families in this community. I feel very fortunate to be a part of that mission.”
