Dr. Shalini Jose grew up in Tampa, Florida, and earned her medical degree from the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. She completed her pediatric residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, where she developed extensive experience caring for kids with a variety of medical needs ranging from routine wellness to chronic illnesses. Her goal is to promote an environment where patients and their families feel heard and empowered to make decisions regarding their health.
In her free time, she loves to travel, try new foods, go for a run, watch movies, and explore hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest with friends. She’s a big kid at heart and enjoys keeping up with TikTok trends, playing video games, and enjoying the occasional junk-food treat—all in moderation, of course.
Dr. Jose strongly recommends fully vaccinating kids against preventable diseases according to the schedule endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
