Dr. Arlene Dijamco is a General and Integrative Pediatrician, combining the best of complementary and alternative medicine with conventional medical care. Her professional philosophy revolves around caring for the whole child -- mind, body, and spirit. She is one of a select number of
pediatricians to graduate from Dr. Andrew Weil's fellowship program in Integrative Medicine, based in Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Dijamco started her formal medical education with an A.B. in psychology from Harvard, where she met her husband. She then returned to her native Atlanta to pursue her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine. After completing her pediatric residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, Dr. Dijamco practiced pediatrics in Virginia as a board-certified pediatrician.

Her love for family and New England has drawn her to bring her personal, holistic approach to health to the South Shore. In her spare time, Arlene is a novice chef, yoga devotee, and explorer with her daughters and husband.
