Pediatrics for You was founded by Dr. Shakti K. Matta in Sept. 2007, in a very old building in Richland, WA. That building has since been demolished. We moved to our new state of the art pediatric office in Oct. 2011, in Kennewick, WA. The practice has grown with support from families, community and the professionals. Dr. Matta is assisted by Carrie Lamb, PA-C since 2013.
