Todd Gardner, DO


Pediatrician Todd Gardner, DO, was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. A father of twin daughters and a son, he is well versed in the world of children — from Paw Patrol and Cars to unicorns and Doc McStuffins


Dr. Gardner graduated from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Iowa and completed his residency in general pediatrics at the University of Nebraska. 


He valued his time and learning experiences in Iowa and Nebraska, but he is grateful to be home again at Phoenix Children’s. “There is no other place I would want to practice medicine than working with the hospital that I grew up knowing,” he says. 


Dr. Gardner enjoys caring for children and adolescents. He also has a passion for treating patients with special needs and those with mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression. 


“There is no other profession as rewarding as working with children,” he says. 


Robin Laks, MD


Pediatrician Robin Laks, MD, loves caring for children and watching them grow and develop.


After her undergraduate studies in biology and music, she received her medical education at the University of Iowa Medical School. She then completed her internship and residency at the Phoenix Hospitals Affiliated Pediatrics Program. Dr. Laks has been practicing general pediatrics since 1999 and is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics.


She appreciates the ability to provide continuity of care as part of the team at Phoenix Children’s, especially when patients need specialty care. Her goal is to make every patient and family feel that they're the only thing on her mind during their time with her.


Dr. Laks used to spend her free time training for triathlons. Now she enjoys the outdoors with her three daughters and husband.


Ashley Elizabeth Navarro, MD


Pediatrician Ashley Navarro, MD, grew up in Chandler, Arizona. She loves kids, and she feels that as a parent she can incorporate her own experiences into her practice. 


Dr. Navarro always wanted to be a pediatrician. She moved from Chandler to Tucson, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Physiology from the University of Arizona, as well as her medical degree and residency training.


Besides providing general pediatric care, Dr. Navarro has a particular interest in developmental and behavioral pediatrics and patients with complex medical conditions. She values the access to providers and specialists that Phoenix Children’s offers.


“I love making our clinic a safe and happy place for kids, even if they are scared,” she says.


In her free time, Dr. Navarro enjoys spending time with her husband, who is an emergency medicine physician, and her children. She takes joy in traveling and seeing her kids’ excitement about new experiences and places.


Ivia Hess, MD


Ivia Hess, MD, is a pediatrician who grew up in Manhattan in New York City. She loves teaching, and she spent time as an instructor in the Doctoring Program at the University of Arizona Medical School, Phoenix Campus. 


Dr. Hess graduated from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. She then completed her internship and residency at the University of Maryland Medical System. Soon after she became certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, she moved to Arizona. 


Her love of pediatrics is centered on getting to know patients and families and watching them grow. In return, her patients and families get to know all about Dr. Hess’s family — she and her husband have seven adult children and seven grandchildren.  


In her free time, Dr. Hess, a self-described “foodie,” is active in her church and loves to hike and travel.

Dr. Tung earned her Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from the University of California Berkeley. She then completed her medical degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. She came to Arizona to complete her residency program at Phoenix Children's Hospital/Maricopa Medical Center.


She has found that pediatric medicine combines her interest in science and her delight in children of every age. She values the relationships she builds with her patients and families and the opportunity for lifelong learning in pediatrics.


"It's fulfilling to watch these children grow alongside the parents," she says. "I learn from them every day."


When she’s not caring for patients, Dr. Tung enjoys spending time with family and friends. She also enjoys arts and crafts and traveling.


Priya Patel, MD


Pediatrician Priya Patel, MD, was inspired to become a doctor during a trip with her parents to their native India. She was shocked to see so many sick, underfed children who needed medical care but were not able to get it. In that moment, Dr. Patel realized that she wanted to be a part of the solution. She now provides care for children and advocates for access to medical care.


Dr. Patel received her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas and earned her medical degree from the American University of Antigua College of Medicine in Coolidge, Antigua. She then completed a pediatric residency at Baylor Scott and White McLane Children’s Medical Center in Temple, Texas.


Her desire to be close to family brought Dr. Patel to Phoenix Children's Pediatrics. Carrying out the organization’s mission and values to "provide hope, healing and the best healthcare for children and families" inspires her to stay.


When she’s not working, Dr. Patel loves spending time with her large, extended family. She also enjoys sharing her time and talents volunteering with nonprofit organizations.

Bill is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
