Manisha “Mona” Dave, MD, is a board certified pediatric gastroenterologist who treats children’s gastrointestinal (esophagus, stomach and intestine) disorders with offices in Plano and Southlake, Texas. Dr. Mona Dave received her medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1998. She completed her residency training in pediatrics and her subspecialty fellowship training in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh in 2001 and 2004 respectively. Dr. Dave was an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh from 2004 to 2006.

When she is not seeing patients, Dr. Dave enjoys outdoor activities, reading, and most of all, spending time with her husband and twin girls.
