Professional History

Dr. Alena Ashenberg graduated from Medical school at Israel Institute of Technology Cum Laude in 1985. She did her Pediatric Residency in Children's Hospital in Austin, Texas finished in 1990. This was followed by one year as a senior Resident in NICU and PICU.

After this she worked for two years in an under served area of Ohio. After that she worked 5 years in Chelmsford Pediatrics. She is at her current location in Dracut since 1998 and owns the practice since 2006, independent solo practice associated with Boston Children's Hospital.

As childhood is critical to future education and happiness, I support parents in fostering good behavior and achievement at school. I minimize use of medications and procedures and always weigh carefully and discuss with the parents the benefit versus the risks and side effects. I am very open to getting a second opinion if there is any doubt or the family desires to improve safety.
