A Beverly Hills pediatrician since 2007.
Board-certified.
Endlessly curious.

Introduction

I became a pediatrician because of children themselves. I love their honesty, their openness, and the bright, unguarded way they see the world. I wanted to help protect that. What has kept me here, and shaped how I practice, is something I have believed from the very start. The early years of a child's life are not just a beginning. They are the foundation for everything that comes next.

A healthy, long life starts the day a child is born.

The choices we make in the early years, around nutrition, sleep, environment, relationships, and emotional health, build the body and mind a child will carry for decades. Most people think prevention starts in middle age. I believe it starts at the very first checkup. This is the heart of how I care for every child, and it is the idea behind The Thriving Child Framework™, the whole child approach I developed for my practice.

This is why I practice the way I do.

Training & Credentials

I completed my residency at USC's Women's and Children's Hospital. I am board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, and I have held that certification as a Diplomate since 2005. I am also an attending physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. That matters for your family. I am not only your pediatrician in the office. I am also there for your child inside the hospital, from newborn visits onward, when it matters most.

I am also a certified hypnotherapist. I trained in this because I am convinced the mind and the body are closely connected in a child's health. It gives me gentle tools beyond everyday medicine, and I use them carefully, only when they are the right fit for your child.

Beyond the Office

I am a mother of two. That gives me an understanding that training alone never could.

When I am not in the office, I spend most of my time reading and studying how the mind grows and changes, with a special focus on mental health and parenting. This is not separate from my work as a doctor. It shapes every conversation I have with the families I care for.

I also write a Substack called Tea Time with Dr. Sabeti. It is where I share my thinking on child health, parenting, and medicine in a longer, more personal way. If you would like to get to know how I think before you ever call the office, it is a wonderful place to start.

A Note on This Practice

I opened Beverly Hills Pediatrician in 2007 with one clear goal. I wanted a practice small enough to truly know every family, with enough time to care for each child the way I believe medicine should be practiced.

Nearly twenty years later, that goal has not changed.
