Q&A with Dr. Pelts
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Tom and Jerry
What is your favorite children's book and why?
Charlotte’s Web was my favorite childhood book because it shows the importance of friendship and kindness. I loved the bond between Charlotte and Wilbur, and it taught me how small acts of care can make a big difference.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Tweety Bird
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My greatest inspiration is my parents. They immigrated to a new country and worked incredibly hard to create opportunities for me that they themselves didn’t have. Their courage, sacrifice, and determination taught me the value of resilience and perseverance. I’m motivated to make the most of the opportunities they gave me and to carry forward their example of hard work and gratitude
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Puzzles, Traveling, Eating great food and Billiards.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I was inspired to work in pediatrics because I love seeing children grow and develop. I enjoy building relationships with families, being a support during tough times, and helping guide parents as their children go through different stages of life.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I think every pediatric provider develops their own unique style of caring for patients. For me, I really focus on listening to families and building trust with children, so they feel comfortable. I try not to rush visits, so parents feel heard and supported. I’m also bilingual, which helps me connect with a wider range of families and make sure communication feels clear and personal

we’ve been able to get short notice sick appointments very easily.
We have been coming here since my son’s first newborn visit. Dr. Listor is his primary, but we have seen multiple doctors and I think this entire staff is just wonderful. The wait time is generally pretty quick. We’ve been able to get short notice sick appointments very easily. Highly recommend!

The office appeared clean.
The office appeared clean and the staff were all very nice and helpful. Dr. Singh was great with my 13-yr old daughter. We did have to wait in the lobby for about 45-minutes, but that seems to be the same at every medical office.
