Abby L. Smolcich, M.D.

Being a pediatrician is hands down the best job in the world! I love seeing my patients grow. And while it’s rewarding to help children feel better when they are sick, it is even more of a privilege keeping them healthy. I like the interactions and conversations I have with families and especially love when kids are excited to see their doctor. Making people laugh is another of my enjoyments, and I never want any child to be afraid to come to the doctor.

Each child is unique and deserves individualized care. That’s why caring for a child should include open communication between physician, parent, and child. I encourage you to ask any questions you have and will offer both my professional and personal expertise to help you make the best decisions for you and your child.

As a mom to a young son, I definitely understand the trials and tribulations of parenthood. Often I share my personal, parenting experiences to provide advice that's not found in the medical books and to let …parents know they are not alone in this wonderful and crazy journey called parenthood.
