Dr. Emanuel joined MVP in 2022 from another independent pediatric practice. Dr. Emanuel recognizes the unique and important role that a pediatrician plays in helping children and their parents thrive in all aspects of their lives and communities. She aims to provide the same compassion and commitment to her patients and their families as she would want from her own kids’ doctors. When not in the office, Dr. Emanuel can be found chasing her daughter and son around Hippo or Safari playgrounds, seeking out delicious baked goods at local bakeries, or jogging around Central Park with a running stroller in tow. One of her favorite children’s books is The Gruffalo.
