Cecilia
Chou
MD
Dr. Chou grew up in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona, where she completed both her undergraduate and master’s degrees at Arizona State University, earning a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance, a B.A. in Global Health, and a minor in History (go Sun Devils!). She then continued her medical journey at the University of Arizona College of Medicine (Bear down!) in Phoenix before heading to the St. Louis Children’s Hospital at Washington University for her pediatrics residency. There, she embraced the "mild winters," toasted ravioli, and her first experience of four seasons. Now, she’s thrilled to return to the desert and join North Scottsdale Pediatrics, where she looks forward to building lasting relationships with families and guiding children through their journey to adulthood.
Outside of the office, Dr. Chou enjoys spending quality time with her community and her husband, Josh, who is a pediatric anesthesiologist at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. In her free time, you might find her exploring new restaurants around the valley, hunting for treasures in antique stores, propagating plants, or jamming on the piano.
