Monica Kenney, MD

Dr. Monica Kenney, general pediatrician and mother of three, treats her patients and their families with a balanced approach she calls “practical pediatrics.” She helps families navigate the health of their children, from birth through high school, acting as a healthcare partner, doctor and advocate for parents and young patients.

Dr. Kenney enjoys watching her patients grow up, seeing couples become parents and being part of their life transitions. Her own experience as a parent gives her the ability to empathize and reassure. She also respects the cultural distinctions of families, so they feel comfortable in her care.

Having worked with El Camino Health for more than 16 years, Dr. Kenney remains impressed by the organization’s excellence. El Camino Health plays a central role in community-building by understanding what the local patient population really needs. And even though it’s relatively small, El Camino Health's hospitals are able to stay on the cutting edge of medicine, offering the standards and assets of a much larger institution — which is great for her patients.
