About
Dr. Eileen Shi is a board-certified pediatrician and founder of Little Roots Pediatrics in Las Vegas. She brings more than 15 years of clinical experience to her work with children and families. Her clinical focus spans holistic pediatrics, nutrition and gut health, asthma and allergy care, ADHD, autism evaluation, and newborn care.
Dr. Shi holds ADOS-2 certification and has spent over 12 years diagnosing and managing childhood ADHD. She integrates evidence-based medicine with holistic principles, guided by a belief that food is medicine and that lasting health comes from addressing root causes. Her personal history shaped her approach. As a teenager, she watched her mother navigate a series of depersonalized medical encounters during a terminal illness. That experience defined her commitment to honest, compassionate care. Becoming a mother herself deepened that commitment further. Dr. Shi describes motherhood as something that profoundly changed how she views life and parenthood. She creates educational content for families through a YouTube channel and blog covering a wide range of child health topics.
