Dr. Marie Rutchelle Darvin

Dr. Marie Rutchelle Darvin is a board-certified pediatrician at Patient First Makati with specialized training in pediatric nutrition from Boston Medical Center in Massachusetts, USA. She cares for babies, children, and teens, and is a useful doctor to see when the worry is about feeding, growth, or weight, such as a child who eats very little, gains slowly, or has fallen behind on the growth chart.

She completed her residency in pediatrics at Makati Medical Center and passed the certifying examination of the Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS). She is an active member of the Philippine Pediatric Society and the Philippine Medical Association, and is affiliated with Asian Hospital and Medical Center as a Junior Resident Consultant and with Makati Medical Center as an Associate Active Consultant.

Alongside the nutrition focus she covers the everyday side of pediatrics: check-ups, vaccinations, and the common illnesses of childhood.

Sorting out a growth or feeding problem sometimes calls for blood work, and the in-house laboratory in the clinic means that is done on the same visit rather than a separate trip. Her patients get their childhood vaccinations here too, including the annual flu shot.

Consult Dr. Darvin at Patient First Makati for a check-up or vaccination, or when a child is eating poorly, gaining weight slowly, or falling behind on the growth chart.
