About Joshua R. Resa, MD

A “kid at heart” and a son of a pediatrician, Dr. Resa witnessed firsthand the profound satisfaction his father derived from his profession. Inspired by his dad, he knew pediatrics was a career well-suited for him. His journey into medicine is rooted in this lifelong appreciation for healing and the joy of caring for children.

Dr. Resa understands the challenge of conflicting health information today and strives to build a trusted partnership with parents, grounded in science. While respecting parents as their children’s advocates, his recommendations – from well visit guidance to sick visit treatment plans – are based on the most current, evidence-based criteria, rather than fleeting media trends. This dedication to medical accuracy is why he is a strong proponent of preventive measures like immunizations, which are a proven, essential element to a child’s health and well-being.

His greatest reward is knowing he can make a lasting difference in a child’s life. He considers the long-term journey with a family the true joy of pediatrics. Dr. Resa views it as a privilege to be a trusted partner, not only ensuring his patients are healthy, but also celebrating their accomplishments and successes, from first steps to high school graduations.

A Central California native, Dr. Resa’s academic journey took him to some of the nation’s top institutions. He earned his undergraduate degree at Stanford University, followed by his medical degree from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and he completed his pediatrics residency at Brown University.

When away from the office, Dr. Resa enjoys playing bridge and golf, and he is dedicated to raising his own child to be a die-hard Dodgers fan.
