Dr. Meena Tanwar-Ahuja, M.D., Ph.D.
Meena Tanwar-Ahuja, M.D. Ph.D. is a board-certified pediatrician and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She grew up in Texas but ventured out to California for her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley. She majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology. After graduating, she decided to pursue a career in research and completed her Ph.D in Cancer Biology from the University of Texas Houston Health Science Center-M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
She found that while she loved research, she missed the human aspect of caring for patients. She completed her medical degree from Texas Tech University and pediatric residency from the University of Arizona. She continued to move west with her husband and finally settled in Orange County in 2017. She has been a part of various university-based, hospital- based and private practice clinics.
Dr. Meena Tanwar-Ahuja found her calling with outpatient pediatrics. She enjoys building connections and trust with her patients’ families. She enjoys preventative medicine as well as caring for the sick.
In her free time, she stays busy with her 4 children. She enjoys both teaching and performing dance, exercising, and watching football with her family. She is very excited to join the Coastal Kids family and looks forward to caring for your children.
