Biography
Dr. Buck went into pediatrics because she loves watching children grow and thrive from day one. For her, there is nothing more rewarding than walking alongside a family through every stage of childhood and making a lasting impact on a child’s life — the same way her own pediatrician did for her growing up. She believes the best care happens within trusted, long-term relationships, where families feel genuinely known and heard.
Nutrition is at the heart of how Dr. Buck practices. Knowing how deeply diet shapes a child’s growth, energy, and long-term health, she emphasizes nutrition and obesity prevention from day one. As a certified lactation consultant, she is especially passionate about supporting breastfeeding families and helping them get off to a confident start. Her clinical interests also include allergies, asthma, ADHD and autism management, and caring for children with complex needs, partnering closely with families to navigate each child’s unique journey.
Dr. Buck earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Midwestern University’s Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her pediatric residency at the University of Connecticut in Hartford. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences and a Bachelor of Arts in Judaic Studies from the University of Arizona, and she is fluent in Hebrew. She is also a certified Mohel. Above all, her aim is to be a steady, compassionate partner to families, ensuring every child’s physical, mental, and emotional wellness is prioritized.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Dr. Buck enjoys traveling the world, dancing, and baking. She loves watching Arizona Cardinals football and spending time outdoors with her husband, their son Noam, and their standard poodle.
