Kathryn Wheeler, M.D.

Dr. Kathryn Wheeler believes that one of the most rewarding aspects of being a pediatrician is the opportunity to care for a child from birth through adulthood. She is passionate about working with children and their families and values the meaningful relationships built throughout each stage of a child's development. As a parent herself, she understands the importance of having both the supportive guidance and trusted expertise of a physician as children grow.

Her goal is to be a trusted partner in protecting each child's health and a reliable resource during the illnesses, uncertainties, and challenges that arise throughout childhood. She is committed to helping parents make informed healthcare decisions by providing medical guidance grounded in the latest research, as well as her extensive professional and personal experience.

She also believes in empowering children to become active participants in their own healthcare. From engaging with newborns and playing with toddlers to respectfully involving older children in medical decision-making, she strives to create a positive and supportive healthcare experience for every patient.

To foster open communication and continuity of care, she utilizes email and the PAMF website to ensure treatment plans are clear, accessible, and effective. Through this patient- and family-centered approach, she aims to provide a trusted, convenient, and comfortable medical home for every child and family in her practice.
