Dr. Anjana Dravid, MD, FAAP

Born as a Tamilian and raised in the Northwestern part of India, I bring a multicultural perspective to pediatric care. My journey into pediatrics began during medical training when I felt a natural resonance between the children I examined and the child within me. The connection was instant and effortless.

After completing my residency at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, I moved to New Jersey to join private practice. Driven by a desire to interact with patients and parents in my own way, and encouraged by friends and family, I decided to open my solo practice. Thus, Excel Pediatrics was born in 2010.

Pediatric Medicine encompasses a happy blend of providing healthy preventive care and helping parents nurture their children. As a pediatrician, I enjoy talking with parents and providing each child with the best possible care.

Having two children of my own, I empathize with parents of sick children and understand their need to get in touch with the pediatrician at any time. I also realize the need for mothers to have access to good hospitals for delivery or for admitting sick children.

While I am a pediatrician by profession, I am also an artist at heart. With years of experience caring for children and supporting families, I've learned that healing is both a science and an art. My days are filled with the joy of childhood—laughter, little footsteps, and endless wonder. In my personal time, I find balance and inspiration through the rhythm of dance and the creative expression of painting. Whether I'm in my clinic or working on a canvas, I bring the same dedication to compassion, creativity, and meaningful connection.
