Q&A with Dr. Kathleen Aguilar

How did you get into pediatrics?
I have always known I wanted to be a pediatrician! I grew up with severe asthma that with great medical management and patient education went into remission by my teenage years. I experienced first hand how limiting poor health can be and the significant impact that thoughtful care can have on a child and family’s life. Also, kids are so much fun! From baby giggles to the teenage years, there’s never a boring day! It is an absolute joy to walk with a family through all the stages of their child’s growth and it is an honor to be trusted to help care for children during times of illness.

Where did you grow up?
Northern New Jersey

Where do you live now?
Queens, New York

What do you look forward to most about working in your neighborhood office?
Fostering meaningful connections with kids and families in the neighborhood!

What keeps you motivated?
Being part of the village that helps to raise happy, healthy kids! Every milestone is a celebration.

What do you do for fun?
Reading, running, chasing after my 2 energetic boys, and trying new restaurants and cafes with my husband.
