My life experiences have fueled a deep interest in allowing children to be resilient and optimally grow, learn and develop.
Background
Dr. James Chattra has been with our practice since 2001. He earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and completed medical school at Columbia University. Drawn to pediatrics from a young age, he feels fortunate to live out his lifelong calling.
Before becoming a physician, Dr. Chattra worked as a schoolteacher for refugee children—an experience close to his heart. His children have four immigrant grandparents who overcame great challenges, and he holds a deep respect for the resilience of families building new lives through adversity.
He has served as Executive Director of the North Pacific Pediatric Society, supporting pediatric continuing education, and as a member of the Washington State Vaccine Advisory Committee.
Outside of work, Dr. Chattra enjoys playing outdoors, great story-telling and tabletop games.
