He mainly sees patients at UHealth – University of Miami Health System Palmetto Bay, but also provides inpatient care at Holtz Children’s Hospital.

Natasha Poulopoulos is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in pediatrics at Holtz Children’s Hospital and Miami Transplant Institute. Much of her work is focused on children who are medically hospitalized and could benefit from psychological care.
