Robert J. Wallerstein, MD

I am a Medical Geneticist and have been practicing for more than 30 years. Throughout my career, it as been a great honor for me to participate in the care of many families with genetic health issues. I have taken care of both children and adults with many different genetic conditions including developmental disabilities, hereditary cancer, hearing loss, and many genetic diseases. I initially trained as genetic counselor and then went on to medical school, residency in Pediatrics, and fellowship training in Internal Medicine in Medical Genetics. I have been fortunate to practice in different places and situations and appreciate the wide scope of human diversity. I spent the early part of my life on the east coast and completed training in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. We moved to California and I have lived and practiced in the Bay area for a number of years with some time in Hawaii. I will be working in Burbank and the Los Angeles area with the Providence Health system. I continue to find the practice of Medical Genetics very rewarding with keeping abreast of new changes and technologies to enhance patient care and sharing this with families to help them make decisions for their healthcare that are in concert with their values.
