About Us

At General Academic Pediatrics, we take pride in providing an exemplary medical home to all children and have a passionate commitment to helping underserved and medically complex children.

Located within CHKD's Children's Pavilion, General Academic Pediatrics is dedicated to the highest standard of pediatric care. All of our physicians have met stringent requirements set by national certification organizations.

Your child's care will be provided by a pediatrician who specializes in child development and health promotion.

Our primary goal is to provide expert outpatient and inpatient clinical care and to address the physical, emotional, educational, and social needs of our children and their families. We strive to show excellence as academic and clinical teachers, while mentoring residents, medical students, and students of other healthcare disciplines.

The leadership and research skills provided in professional organizations on a local, state, and national level, as well as our community service, challenge General Academic Pediatric faculty and staff to provide the best pediatric healthcare now and in the future.

CHKD Medical Group Vaccine Statement

The primary care pediatricians of CHKD Medical Group believe that vaccination may be the single most important thing parents can do to protect the health of their children. All CHKD Medical Group practices share the same philosophy on immunizations, and all take steps to minimize the risk unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children present to infants, young children who have not yet completed their vaccinations, and those with weakened immune systems. We are aware that rumors circulate concerning which CHKD practices are more lenient about immunizations, but these rumors are not true. Our practices share a unified belief that children should be fully vaccinated according to the schedule developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that we have an ethical responsibility to create the safest possible environment for care.
