Meet Our Physicians
Rhonda Yono-Atisha MD
Dr. Yono has been caring for children and families since 2009. She chose pediatrics because she grew up without anyone in her family working in medicine, and healthcare often felt confusing and overwhelming. She wanted to become the kind of doctor who could guide families through that uncertainty. Being a pediatrician allows her to listen, explain, and support families as their children grow.
Her interests include caring for newborns and helping families with early feeding, whether breastfeeding or formula feeding. She values long term relationships and works to create an environment where families feel heard, understood, and supported.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Yono enjoys spending time with her husband and children. Their favorite place to be is anywhere with sun and water. When the weather keeps them inside, she enjoys board games with her family.
