Laura Grunbaum, MD

Laura Grunbaum has been a General Pediatrician in the East Bay for nearly 30 years. Born in New York City to Argentine graduate students, and vividly recalls her first day of preschool and not understanding what was being said in English. She was very involved in her four children’s classrooms, schools, and activities, fostering a strong connection to their educational experiences.

Laura earned her degree in Biology from MIT and her MD at UCSD. She completed her pediatric residency in Boston and was delighted to return to the Bay Area to practice. For over 20 years, she was part of a private pediatric group in San Leandro before joining Kaiser Permanente.

She is a strong advocate for holistic family care in pediatrics and believes in an integrated model of medical care. She is excited to apply this approach in a school setting, where a deeper understanding of each child and family can be achieved.
