Work Experience
2012-present (in addition to Tarzana Pediatrics Medical Group)
Kids and Teens Medical Group I work part time at an urgent care clinic in Northridge.
Aligned Healthcare Medical Group Call Center
I am currently a physician on-call available by phone 24-7 for both pediatric and adult patients for any questions or concerns that may arise regarding their health. I either provide reassurance, help manage the patient at home with thorough follow-up or send the patient to an ER or urgent care center. By screening calls, the call center reduces the flow of non-emergent visits to an ER and ultimately reduces unnecessary cost and saves time.
2011: Pediatric Associates Medical Group
I worked at this private practice after residency for 6 months. I saw about 20-30 patients per day. When I was on call I rounded on newborns and took phone calls from parents with questions regarding their kids. I performed procedures such as laceration repairs, ingrown toe nail removal and frenotomies. I also conducted prenatal visits.
Testimonials
Dr.Dafna is Absolutely amazing! My daughter has severe Eczema, and she cares for my daughter Khloe like her own, never met a doctor that has such empathy and always tries to find a solution to my daughters severe, never ending skin condition. She even gives better medical advice then her assigned dermatologist

Amazing pediatrician. It’s been a while since I’ve left a doctor’s office and felt like my daughter is in good hands. As a first-time mom it is extremely important to get answers to all the questions I have regarding her health. Dr. Ahdoot was very informative and was very gentle and sweet with my 3-month-old baby. Her main concern was to get to the bottom of the problem and finally make my little one feel better. We need more doctors like her.
