With over 8 years of clinical experience and having treated more than 1,500 patients, Dr. Wambui Kariuki provides comprehensive, individualized, and evidence-based psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults.

Her practice focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of a broad range of mental health, behavioural, and neurodevelopmental conditions.
