Summary

I have over 45 years of experience caring for children and their families. I started my career as a nurse and then worked as a general pediatrician in private practice for 25 years. For the past 4 years, I have been a hospitalist in the newborn nursery at Ocean University Medical Center. Additionally, for the past 20 years, I have been teaching pediatric residents skills in communication and relationship-building. I am also a member of the training team for Neonatal Behavioral Observation with the Brazelton Institute.



Frequently Asked Questions



What medical or health care topics are you most passionate about sharing with the community?



I am passionate about the responsibility pediatricians have in building trusting relationships with their patients and families. This trust helps us achieve our mutual goal of ensuring healthy children and families. I also believe strongly in the crucial role that immunizations play in a child's health.



What health and wellness advice, related to your specialty, do you often share with patients to maintain their health?



I encourage parents to prioritize self-care and seek necessary support to effectively care for their infants.



What are Dr. Deacon's Clinical Interests?



I am leading a quality improvement project in our maternity unit to address the rising number of parents declining the Vitamin K injection recommended shortly after birth. I am particularly interested in using quality improvement initiatives to enhance patient safety. Additionally, I aim to promote the use of neonatal behavioral observations by all caregivers of infants and their parents.
