Yi Catherine Chang, M.D. <br><span>Certified Lactation Specialist</span>

Biography

Originally from Midwest City, Oklahoma, I bring a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to caring for children and their families.  I enjoy partnering with families through the many stages of childhood and helping parents make informed, confident decisions about their child’s health.

I have particular interests in nephrology, hematology, and the history of medicine, and I value critical thinking in clinical care. I believe that clear communication and education are essential to helping families feel empowered and supported in their healthcare choices. I am also a Certified Lactation Specialist, which allows me to support families during the important early stages of infant feeding.

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy ballroom dancing, musical theatre, traveling, and exploring different cultures through food and cooking.

Approach to Care

My approach to pediatrics is centered on partnership with families. I focus on guiding parents and children through their healthcare journey using science, evidence-based medicine, and thoughtful counseling. By helping families understand the reasoning behind medical decisions, I aim to empower parents to make confident choices and support their children’s long-term health.
