I look forward to forming relationships with my patients and their caregivers so that we, as a team, can determine the best way to promote health in each individual child. I also enjoy passing on what I have learned through medical teaching.
I am a board-certified general pediatrician and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. My practice is dedicated to the care of children from birth until adulthood, focusing on both their physical and mental health. I have particular interests in breastfeeding support and preventative care for children of all ages and abilities, including coordination of care for patients with complex medical issues. I have experience working in both private and hospital-based practices during my 25 years in this field. I have been heavily involved in continuing medical education as well as office emergency preparedness.
Outside of work, I enjoy camping and traveling with my family, including my grown children and grandchildren.

I took my child to her multiple times because she had an ear infection. Dr. Koehler would say she's fine, then less than a week later she gets worse, so we go back and get a different doctor. They tell us she has an inner ear infection, this has happened an innumerable amount of times. She's also very rude in a "fake nice" kind of way. Recently my daughter has had vertigo (she still does for 6 days now) and Dr. Koehler said its from allergies, but then when I get home I found out from multiple sites that only 13% of vertigo patients have it from allergies. My daughter is telling me she also has ear pain. Based on that and from the symptoms I found on multiple sites, I need her to go back this time with a different doctor. I would not recommend this doctor at all. One of the worst doctors at Reading Pediatrics. I think, she just doesn't want to do her job.

By far, rudest pediatrician I have ever met. Terrible bedside manor - speaking over me, not listening as I spoke, spent an entire 3 minutes with my child. I am mortified that Reading Peds has such rude people working for their practice.

I was clearly upset and she was very rude.
