Q&A with Dr. Iraheta Abrego
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
The Nightmare Before Christmas and One Piece
What is your favorite children's book and why?
Creepy Pair of Underwear by Aaron Reynolds! It was my kids’ favorite book growing up, and it showed me how creepy things can also be funny
What was your favorite childhood toy?
A soccer ball, I’m a big soccer fan
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
Honestly my kids. They’ve taught me the most powerful lesson: that every little achievement is worth celebrating. Whether it’s learning to jump for the first time or tying a shoelace, they approach everything with joy and pride. They remind me that the most beautiful things in life are free and in the everyday moments. They teach me to live more fully and gratefully.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Watching soccer games, the Formula 1 races and preparing bbq for my family, I want to beat Bobby Flay!
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I always believed that kids are the future, so I got into pediatrics so I could help shape a healthier future from the beginning. It’s very meaningful for me to help the children and their families when they’re sick, but mostly as they grow and thrive, it’s about making a lasting positive impact.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
My life experience has taught me deep compassion and empathy, qualities I believe are essential to being a good pediatrician. Additionally, being a father to children with special needs has given me a personal understanding of the uniqueness of each child. It allows me to connect more meaningfully with families and help them navigate their medical journeys with care, patience and respect.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
I create a welcoming, safe and adaptable environment for both the children and their families. I am happy to break down explanations into small steps with a calm tone for the children and caregivers

Exceptional service from the time of arrival to the end. The staff is extremely professional, the location is very clean and the doctor we had onsite Sandra De Jesus Medina was top notch and knowledgable.

everyone goes above and beyond to make each visit smooth and stress-free.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pediatric Associates and especially Dr. Claudia Landaeta. She has been the doctor for all three of my children for years, and we truly couldn’t ask for anyone better. Dr. Landaeta is patient, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. She always takes her time with us, listens to every concern, and gives thoughtful guidance. As a mother, having a doctor you fully trust means everything, and she has been that support for our family since day one. The entire staff is also amazing—friendly, professional, and always helpful. From scheduling to check-in to the nurses, everyone goes above and beyond to make each visit smooth and stress-free. We are so grateful for the consistent care, kindness, and reassurance they have provided over the years. Thank you, Dr. Landaeta, and thank you to the whole team at Pediatric Associates for taking such great care of my kids!
