Samantha Talerico, M.D. Board Certified Pediatrician At Our Roseville Location Schedule Now Hi, I’m Dr. Talerico! Book an Appointment Directly with Dr. Talerico Teaching kids about their health is my passion. I love being a pediatrician and experiencing the joy of caring for newborns through young adults, and I value evidence-based medicine and shared decision making. I strive to create a friendly and safe space for patients and families to ask questions. It is an honor to watch patients grow and build long-lasting relationships with them and their families. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities (swimming and hiking are my favorites), and spending time with my family and friends.
