Bio


Dr. Kellen Glinder is a distinguished pediatrician with over two decades of experience in Silicon Valley. He practiced for 17 years at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Pediatric department in Palo Alto where he helped build and implement many of the pediatric electronic medical record tools currently in use throughout Sutter Health. He founded and chaired the PAMF Asthma Committee and the Sutter Childhood Asthma Committee as well as developed a program for pediatric pulmonary function testing and asthma education, including training asthma educators statewide for underfunded clinics in California.

In his role as Pediatric Department Chair at PAMF Palo Alto, he worked closely with Stanford Children's Hospital to coordinate care for our children in our community and facilitate collaboration between PAMF, Sutter, and Stanford Children's Hospital, including representing the community pediatricians on the Medical Executive Committee of Stanford Children's Hospital. His advocacy for children extends to his expertise on the Silicon Valley Advisory Council of Commonsense Media and some of his public speaking roles. He is also the author of "Pause, Cope, and Connect," a book to teaching mindfulness practices to grade school children and has brought his own mindfulness practice to the classroom, teaching courses in the art of medical communication at several institutions, including Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.

Dr. Glinder currently sees patients at Maison Medical Group, a small private clinic in Portola Valley, CA.
