Welcome to another insightful episode of the La Via Las Vegas podcast. In this episode, Dr. Erica and Dr. Joe are joined by Dr. Suzanne Al-Hamad - “Dr. Suz” - the pediatrician behind Wildflower Pediatrics, a concierge/direct primary care practice in Las Vegas.

Dr. Sue shares how growing up in a family of medical professionals shaped her path, why pediatrics won her heart, and what she learned working in the NICU before launching a membership-based model that allows truly personalized, family-centered care. She breaks down the difference between a traditional 1:2,000+ patient panel and her 1:100 approach, how that changes access and outcomes, and what it takes to rebuild trust for families with medical trauma.

You’ll also hear practical guidance for every stage of childhood—from newborn priorities like maternal mental health, tummy time, and early language, to “threenager” independence, school-age social dynamics, teen screen time, and the role parents play in modeling habits and setting family values. Dr. Sue closes with a thoughtful look at generational trauma and actionable steps families can take to support healthier kids and communities.
