Reach Out and Read Yuma County would like to introduce Dr. Al Alou from Yuma Kids Clinic:

I am a Board-Certified Pediatrician and a Fellow of American Academy of Pediatrics. I completed my studies in the field of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine in 2004 at St. Joseph Children’s Hospital in Paterson, New Jersey; which is affiliated to Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

I worked in Washington State for the last 6 years, and due to family circumstances I decided to move to Arizona, and since I love rural and small towns, I decided to come to Yuma.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to be a doctor. At the outset, was not sure what part of medicine I would choose; however, once I started my pediatric rotations, I knew this was for me and I would get pleasure spending the rest of my life doing this.

I love the challenges that the pediatric field brings; from the premature babies to obesity and type II Diabetes that we are seeing more in children and adolescents. I thoroughly enjoy giving the continuity of care from babies then into pre-teens and finally into young adults then letting them go. I have treasured being a pediatrician and will always dedicate my career to the care and help of children.

Yuma Kids Clinic has been a Reach Out and Read site since July 2010 and serves about 1,200 children a year. They are located at 2270 S. Ridgeview Dr. Suite 201 in Yuma, Arizona.
