As a pediatric dermatologist, Daniela Russi, MD, cares for kids with skin conditions and diseases.

Dr. Russi fell in love with Arizona while completing a fellowship at Phoenix Children's after spending several years in Chicago for medical training. It's been her home ever since.

Growing up, Dr. Russi loved spending time at the hospital with her grandfather, a cardiologist. She always knew she wanted to be a pediatrician, and her passion for photography and her visual learning ability led her to the field of dermatology.

After earning her medical degree at the University of Rio de Janeiro, Dr. Russi completed a dermatology residency at the University Hospital Pedro Ernesto, also in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In Chicago, she completed an international pediatric dermatology fellowship at Children's Memorial Hospital (now Lurie Children's Hospital) and a pediatric residency at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. She then completed a pediatric dermatology fellowship at Phoenix Children's.

Dr. Russi is certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics and is also certified by the Brazilian Society of Dermatology. She is a member of numerous professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Society for Pediatric Dermatology.

Understanding the importance of advancing her field through research and education, Dr. Russi has contributed to numerous professional publications and has presented at international and national meetings.

Dr. Russi believes everyone has a story that includes struggles. That's why she takes time to listen to patients and families, and cares for them as she would her own family.

When she's not working, Dr. Russi enjoys photography and spending time in nature. She also enjoys sailing and traveling to foreign countries.
