MEET THE DOCTOR
I am privileged to work with newborns and to have the opportunity to help in the transition from "couple" to "family." I am a great advocate of supporting new moms in achieving successful breastfeeding and in helping new dads to become involved in the care and emotional support of their children. I believe that every babay deserves exceptional care and attention and I make my medical decisions very conservatively. Because I don't follow newborns once they leave the hospital, it is important to me that there are no unresolved issues and that the family is well-informed and able to care for the baby at discharge."
Dr. Mouzoon joined Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in 1985 and serves as Managing Physician for Immunization Practices and Foreign Travel. She is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and cares for her patients at St. Luke’s Medical Tower.
