Healthy Food That’s Fun for Kids

Yum Pediatrics is the General Pediatrics practice of Dr. Nimali Fernando. We are located at the corner of Courthouse Rd. and Leavells Rd. Our office houses a large teaching kitchen and instructional garden to help guide our patients to make healthy food choices, and to host the cooking classes for “The Doctor Yum Project”, a nonprofit founded by Dr. Fernando.
