Dr. Toma later completed a combined internal medicine and pediatric residency at Loyola University Medical Center.

Dr. Toma’s passion for helping children started at a very young age. In her own words, “I have always loved children and spent many hours babysitting in high school. So, in medical school it was natural that I loved pediatrics!”. Her clinical philosophy is based upon connecting with families and guiding them, as their children develop into their own personalities. She has a passion for life and a love of caring for others.

In her spare time, Dr. Toma loves being together and traveling with her husband and daughter. She can’t get enough of Disney and has a weakness for doughnuts. She also enjoys cooking, baking, and photography.

Janil’s passion for pediatrics initiated with the care she received as a child from her own pediatrician. In her own words, “My pediatrician had such a special way with children that making our annual or sick visits was something I looked forward to. I would say, that is where the spark started!”, Janil Toribio, APRN.
