About Us

We are pleased to serving the community

Dr. María José Vasena

I’m very pleased to be here serving the Hawthorne community and the surrounding area.

I grew up in Argentina and earned my MD degree there. I trained as a pediatrician in Buenos Aires at the “Hospital de niños Dr Ricardo Gutierrez”, one of the biggest pediatrics centers in Argentina!
After my 4-year pediatrics residency, I worked in different facilities and I opened my own practice in the town where we lived. I enjoyed working with the local community and at the hospital in the NICU service. After moving to the United States I completed my second residency at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in Paterson, received certification from The American Board of Pediatrics, and have since served this community!

I am also originally from Argentina as Dr Vasena but one major difference is that I have Korean parents so don’t get surprised if I talk to you in Spanish…

I came to the US in 2007 and started my pediatric residency at St Joseph’s Children Hospital. I got married in 2008 and have 2 wonderful boys, age 6 and 9.
