Overview

Preethi Kumar, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician. She is passionate about teaching families about ways to get and stay healthy. I get immense pleasure from treating children because these are the kids who see you for close to 20 years. You see them grow up. Over that time, you see children sick, you treat them to get well, you watch them grow, and you see them flourish. Sometimes those kids, once they’ve grown and started their own families, bring their children to us. I get a lot of satisfaction from that. I love teaching and explaining things to families. This is more than a job to me, it’s a passion. Making one child feel better, having one family comfortable and happy, I’ve done my job. At the end of the day, what I’m looking for is, “How many did I treat today? How many did I make happy? How many lives did I make feel better today?” When I see people walking out of here happy and healthy, that’s all I need. One big way I try to make a difference is through education and teaching. I give talks at schools.I try to make a difference to my patients by being available when they need me. I make a lot of follow-up phone calls. I talk with parents and ask about their other children. I talk with them if my families see me out shopping or in the community. I try to remember the little details, all as a part of knowing the family and building a relationship with them. Educating the parents gives them the best tools to make the right decisions for their child.

Dr. Andreas Bollmann is a board-certified pediatrician, an advisory board member of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, a member and fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP). He's been a published author of peer-reviewed medical journal articles, a researcher and a medical educator. The greatest joy of being a pediatrician is seeing my patients and their families grow, change and achieve. I believe in preventative care. As pediatricians, we are the first line in ensuring that children are recognized, diagnosed and treated properly — often working like a detective with a magnifying glass — dosed with plenty of silliness and empathy. When I wake up in the morning I smile, knowing that I am doing exactly what I was made to do. Having trained in both Europe and the United States, I have been exposed to many perspectives on health care and wellness. I’m passionate about constantly striving to learn and improve myself to better advise and care for my patients and their loved ones. It is important to me to accompany my patients through to their young adulthoods, and help caregivers navigate our ever-changing health care system. I want my patients to feel comfortable with themselves, embrace a healthy lifestyle, and achieve to their potential. I hope to be a good listener and encourage a dialogue. Dr. Bollmann is highly rated in 18 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Pulmonary Vein Stenosis, Ventricular Tachycardia, Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), Cardiac Ablation, and Gallbladder Removal.
