Dr. Aida Khanum MD MPH
Dr. Khanum (Child Specialist) has lives in Houston/USA since 2003. She completed her residency in Pediatrics at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York. She continued her training by completing a Fellowship in Academic General Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. Simultaneously, she completed a Masters in Public Health from UT School of Public Health. She has practiced in the Greater Houston area as a Board Certified Pediatrician since the completion of her training in 2003. Through her >14 years of experience, she has seen first hand how parents juggle their personal and professional lives. She found a need for a pediatric clinic that was in an easily accessible location within one of the busiest hubs of Houston - the City of Bellaire. This need, along with her desire to establish a practice with a neighborhood feel, led to the creation of "Pediatric Pod" in Houston/USA which is affiliated and sister clinic to "The Apple Tree Pediatrics" in Karachi.
