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.
