About me

Welcome to our pediatrics team at Kaiser Permanente Panorama City/Mission Hills ! I'm Dr. Laura Magtoto. I am passionate about the health of my patients and their families. I am here to discuss preventive care and to provide guidance when health challenges and illnesses arise.

 

Biography

 

Since moving to Southern California at the age of 7, I’ve been proud to call this vibrant region home. I earned my bachelor’s degree in microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics from UCLA — four years I truly cherished. I then continued my medical journey just down the 405 at UC Irvine, where I completed both my medical degree and pediatric residency, followed by an additional year serving as chief resident.

 

My path to pediatrics was shaped early on by personal experiences navigating the healthcare system as a child living with a chronic illness, alongside my immigrant parents. These experiences gave me a deep appreciation for compassionate, culturally sensitive care — something I strive to provide in every patient interaction. 

 

My husband and I have been fortunate to raise our 3 children here in beautiful and diverse Southern California.

 

About my practice

 

I prioritize getting to know each patient and the family’s unique culture, values, and needs. My goal is to partner with parents and caregivers through open communication and sharing information for decision-making so that each child receives medical care that is based on evidence and current research and that supports their overall health and development

 

How I thrive

 

I believe self-care is extremely important though truly understanding the struggle for the time and energy while raising children and being a working mother. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and spending time in nature, often practicing mindfulness and meditation to stay grounded. I love traveling, cheering on UCLA sports, watching documentaries, reading a good book, and connecting meaningfully with family and friends. I am also committed to giving back to the broader community and currently volunteer with the American Red Cross Disaster Action Team.
