A special message from Dr. Dirkmaat herself:
"I keep up with research and integrate it into my care. I have worked with some of the top doctors in my industry and make recommendations that will be best for the child. My methods are safe and effective.
The blend of medicine I practice is an eclectic one. I use both Western and Eastern medicine to formulate the best outcome for the patients. My medicine serves a spectrum that accommodates both natural and conventional mindsets.
I provide safe, knowledgeable, quality care to the community. The care provided is non-judgmental and does not discriminate based on sexual preferences, orientation, gender, or vaccination status."

A note from Dr. Sunita:
Hello! I am so excited to join you on your family’s health journey! Just like my travels, whether it’s swinging through the skies above Bali or chasing the northern lights in Iceland, I see health as a fun adventure that thrives on connection and care. It reminds me of my favorite childhood book, Love You Forever, which teaches that every stage of life is a beautiful journey, all grounded in love. I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and support you on your wellness path. And if you love playful corgis, I would be excited to share more about mine named Obi!
