Manisha “Mona” Harpavat Dave, MD

Pediatric Gastroenterologist | Digestive Health & Nutrition Specialist

Hello! I’m Dr. Manisha “Mona” Dave, a pediatric gastroenterologist in Frisco, Texas serving the surrounding Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.
I earned my medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1998 and then pursued specialized training in pediatrics and pediatric gastroenterology at the renowned Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. During my time there, I had the privilege of serving as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics from 2004 to 2006.
In 2006, I returned to North Texas, where my family has been committed to caring for generations of children. My mother, Dr. Kiran Harpavat, has been practicing medicine in this area since 1976, and I am proud to continue our family’s legacy of providing exceptional pediatric care to North Texas. My passion lies in delivering top-notch medical care; your child’s well-being is my utmost priority.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy outdoor activities, reading, and, most importantly, spending quality time with my husband and twin girls.
