Douglas Anthony Cionni, MD

Growing up on the west side of Cincinnati, Dr. Cionni always thought he would become a physician like his father. Little did he know that he would join the same group of pediatricians he had seen as a child. Working as a surgical technician after college, he experienced the positive impact the surgeons had on their patients. He realized he wanted to do the same, so he continued on to medical school. He chose to become a pediatrician when he found working with kids always brought a smile to his face. He enjoys making a positive effect on people's lives every day.Dr. Cionni treats children of all ages, from birth through college.

He also likes to forge a partnership with his patients' parents, …working with them to help their families live better.Dr. Cionni and his wife have three children. In his spare time, he enjoys sports of all kinds, especially golf and running.
