Dr. Sydney Leibel is a board-certified pediatric allergist/immunologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and an assistant professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine.

Dr. Leibel attended UC San Diego as an undergraduate before earning his medical degree at Flinders University in South Australia.
