Maha Haddad, M.D.
Philosophy of Care
I team with my patients and their families to meet our common goal of fighting a disease in the
smoothest way possible. As a pediatric nephrologist, I care for a wide range of problems affecting
the kidneys, ranging from simple problems like protein and blood in the urine to dialysis and
transplant. I love to take care of my patients, providing a helping hand to them and their families
when they need it most.
