Our goal at East Bay Pediatrics is to provide outstanding medical care to children and adolescents. We are committed to the promotion of preventive medicine such as the implementation of universal immunizations and the judicious use of antibiotics. Additionally, we play an active role on the teaching staff at the Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University. During your visits, you may therefore meet medical students rotating through our office. We are extremely proud of the fact that our doctors have received several teaching awards from the medical school. Furthermore, we were one of the first pediatric practices in the state to use the electronic medical records (EMR) and to become a NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) Certified Medical Home. These aspects of our medical practice help us provide coordinated and comprehensive care to you and your children.
The philosophy at East Bay Pediatrics is that we deliver the highest quality of healthcare through teamwork. In addition to our pediatricians and nurse practitioner, our team includes Practice Manager Dori Mazzeo, Billing Manager Robin Archambault, and a staff of highly qualified administrative and medical assistants.

In college, she majored in Human Biology with a focus on chronic disease prevention. During medical school, she focused her efforts on pediatric advocacy and activism. She spent one year during medical school at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles working on research projects while always being on the lookout for famous celebs! Dr. Raufi completed her pediatric residency in Chicago at Northwestern / Lurie Children’s Hospital where she stayed as an attending physician in their emergency department. However, the bitter winters and lack of foliage swept Dr. Raufi back to the Northeast and she couldn’t be more excited!
