Dr. Babak "Bobby" Daftari is a highly experienced pediatric cardiologist and urgent care physician dedicated to providing exceptional care to his patients. Having trained at UCLA in both general pediatrics and pediatric cardiology, Dr. Daftari has over 18 years of experience as a pediatric cardiologist and urgent care physician.

​

Dr. Daftari knew from a young age that medicine was his passion. Congenital heart disease, with its myriad of lesions and interesting physiology, fascinated him. Supporting and guiding parents who are faced with difficult diagnoses for their children is something he holds in the highest regard. Throughout his career, he consistently worked in pediatric urgent care across hospitals and medical centers, which he also enjoys, and which helped to support his wife and their three beautiful teenage daughters!

​

About 17 years ago, Dr. Daftari was diagnosed with MS. In recent years, his own mobility has been impacted, which has allowed him to explore and become well-versed in the world of Telehealth. After a steady second career in pediatric urgent care over the phone at Kaiser Permanente for the past five years, he has decided to pursue that avenue of medicine full-time. Dr. Daftari is grateful for his knowledge base as both a specialist and a generalist, as despite his physical disability, he gets to continue to help patients in the ways that bring him meaning and purpose.

​

Dr. Daftari's cardiology and urgent care telehealth patients always asked if he could be their general pediatrician. They enjoy his candor, supportive ear, and efficiency when it comes to placing orders and following up. Dr. Daftari is excited to embark on this new adventure. He looks forward to hearing from you and being able to provide the urgent care your child needs!
