"Since 1997, I have been fulfilling my dream of taking care of children as a pediatrician in the Sacramento area. My philosophy is to work with parents and caregivers as a team to raise children in a healthy, safe, and caring environment. I also love to teach (got it from my mom who was a school teacher) which helps me in providing families practice advice they can relate to."
"My “work “ starts at our home, raising five boys along with my husband. Each day is its own unique experience in our household. It is from these experiences that I acquire a better perspective of the personal and the professional, which brings true satisfaction to my spirit.”
Dr. Maulino completed premedical undergraduate studies at the University of California Davis (1984), graduated Cum Laude from the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine & Surgery (1990) and trained at the Children’s Hospital of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City in General Pediatrics (1996).

"Having grown up with a doctor in the family has certainly made a big impact on my life. My aunt who often took care of me inspired me to follow in her footsteps and dedicate my life towards helping patients in their journey towards healthy and happy life.
It is definitely a plus that I get to be surrounded by children in my line of work. As a pediatrician, it gives me great joy to be able to provide the best care and assistance to children and their parents. It is truly the best feeling in the world and I would not trade it for anything else."

Joan M. Villaflor, MD, FAAP
"The tenderness of children has always touched my heart and my care grew even more when I gave birth to my daughter in 2011. It is my silent promise to give my all in ensuring that the little ones are properly treated and cared for in my field of specialization. No child deserves to be in pain and no one should stay sick. I want them to achieve their best potential. My role is to be an advocate for them. We at Sacramento Valley Pediatrics make sure that we properly attend to our patients and extend the best care to make each one feel at home while being treated."
