"I believe optimal health is more than the absence of disease. It involves living the sort of lifestyle that promotes and embraces it. Our kids are growing up in a society that is faster paced and more stressful than ever."

Deborah Z. Bain, M.D., FAAP, ABIHM, IFMCP has been a pediatrician in the DFW area for over 15 years. Dr. Bain created Healthy Kids Pediatrics in August 2006 to bring a more holistic approach to the treatment of children with the purpose of helping kids become healthier, not just managing their symptoms. Dr Bain has personally seen how toxins can disrupt a vulnerable immune system through her own journey back to health after nine neck and back surgeries and breast cancer.

Dr Bain earned her medical degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1993. She completed her Internship and Residency programs at Dallas Children's Medical Center in 1996. Dr Bain is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

In keeping with her passion for holistic and truly integrative medical care, Dr Bain has pursued additional expertise and fellowship certification through the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine as well as the Institute of Functional Medicine, in order to provide the best medical care possible for her patients.
