Vivian Tung, MD, FAAP

Personal Statement:

“My passion for working with kids and love of science are what drew me to pediatrics. After receiving my BS degree in Biology from MIT, I knew that I wanted to become a pediatrician, I then obtained my MD from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. After finishing my residency at UCLA in 2003, I have been practicing at Children’s Primary Care Medical Group in La Jolla ever since. I enjoy working with children of all ages – from newborns to adolescents. I enjoy all aspects of pediatrics, but I have a special interest in helping children with food allergies, asthma and eczema. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing tennis, cooking and spending time with my husband and three children. I am also fluent in Mandarin.”
