Robert Palmer, DO

I chose medicine because it offered me everything that I wanted in a career. I was looking for a career that would be stimulating, challenging and rewarding. I really like having children as my patients, and I like working with parents as well. I enjoy watching and helping families make positive changes, even ones that might be difficult, because we know it's what's best for their children.

My goal is to listen compassionately and work together with parents and patients to help them achieve their best health. I love getting to know families as they grow and talking with them about everything from everyday issues to more serious health concerns. I've always loved kids and it became clear early on in medical school that Pediatrics was the specialty for me. As a pediatrician I have the opportunity to teach kids and families healthy habits with the goal of preventing problems before they start.
