I believe that from a very young age, I have always had a special way of connecting with children. As a medical student I was fascinated by how resilient children are when facing stress, trauma, illness and challenges. When dealing with young patients who are often afraid of things like shots, developing a rapport and connection with them helps me in providing care for their emotional, physical and social development. As a pediatrician, one of the roles I particularly focus on has been working with children and adolescents — and their families — to both prevent and treat childhood obesity. As rates of childhood obesity increase in the U.S., I am dedicated to helping my young patients and their parents overcome the obesity epidemic. Some of my specific areas of interest are: attention deficit disorder (ADD) breathing issues nutrition prevention and treatment of childhood obesity As the mother of two beautiful girls, I too, find myself going through the parenting journey. I understand the importance of listening to each child and their parents’ concerns. Through the practice of evidence-based medicine I want to help parents understand and promote their child’s healthy development. Dr. Paez is highly rated in 10 conditions, according to our data.

Nemours Children's Health, Sanford
I’ve been a pediatrician long enough to see patients grow up and bring their own children to me. My experience helped us become a designated “medical home” for children with complex issues. My wife and I raised three children in the community where I practice. We have all worked hard to make this a good place to live and thrive. When you treat a child, you are really caring for the whole family. The wellness of the group depends on the health of each of its members. Similarly, the community is stronger when families are healthy and happy. So I take my work very seriously, giving patients and their families love and compassion in every situation. I’m passionate about providing high-quality care for my patients, no matter what their needs are. Our practice has been designated a medical home by the American Academy of Pediatrics. At the time we earned it, there were fewer than 25 practices in Florida with this designation. It means that we have demonstrated the ability to care for children with complex illnesses and conditions as well as children who just need wellness checks and vaccinations. As a seasoned pediatrician with more than 25 years of experience treating children and teens with a wide variety of conditions, including behavioral and developmental issues, I am dedicated to finding answers for them and their families. I also care deeply about my community. I serve on the board of Boys Town and am active in other organizations that are doing good work for children and families in Central Florida. His clinical expertise encompasses Autism Spectrum Disorder, Obesity in Children, Food Allergy, and GAPO Syndrome. Dr. Mireles is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.

Nemours Children's Health, Maitland
I am honored and humbled to be trusted with the care of your children. It can be overwhelming when our children go through illness or struggles. I want my families to know I am here for them and they can reach out to me at any time. We are in this together. Children are easygoing, innocent and spontaneous. Their joy in small things is contagious. It is beautiful to hold a newborn and experience the wonder of a new life. Watching the unconditional love of a parent or grandparent and sharing in the joy they feel when their child achieves different milestones gives me immense happiness. Helping the vulnerable is especially important to me, as is preventing stress and stress-related diseases. I want to help children and families gain confidence in managing their health. I enjoy connecting parents to resources and teaching them how to use natural remedies whenever possible. It is immensely rewarding whenever I am able to guide a family through their challenges. I come from a small town in India and feel grateful my parents instilled kindness and compassion in me from a young age. I listen carefully to my patients and families and try to understand everything that affects them. Teaming up with parents means we can work together to guide children to be healthy, happy and confident adults. I am very focused on helping children be the healthiest they can be in every way — physically, socially, emotionally — and supporting them to achieve their highest potential in a natural, stress-free way.

I always knew I wanted to take care of children. I strongly believe that the pediatrician’s office should be the medical home for families and that each patient deserves the time to receive personalized and compassionate care. I grew up in Michigan, and am now a happy Florida transplant. My husband teaches chemistry at Rollins College. I love the adventure that I get to take with families as their small babies grow and move through all the milestones of childhood. The honesty and innocence of children never ceases to surprise me and put a smile on my face, even when they are not feeling well. I view it as a privilege to be a stable source of support for both patients and families. The bonds we form remind me of why I wanted to practice medicine in the first place. I am passionate about providing comprehensive, evidence-based, high-quality medicine to my patients. I recognize that every patient and family’s circumstances, background and medical issues are different, and I want to provide that individualized care that’s needed for them. I want to empower my patients and families to be as knowledgeable as possible about their health, and I encourage healthy lifestyle choices for the entire family. I try to draw from my past experiences and continue to push myself to be a lifelong learner of medicine. Being a new parent opened my eyes to what an awesome responsibility this is. It has given me an even better perspective on how important education, communication and reassurance is for my families. One of the most important things I can do as a doctor is to build trust with families. It takes time and true effort to truly appreciate their experiences. Dr. Patrone is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Common Cold, Food Allergy, Obesity in Children, and Otitis.

Nemours Children's Health, Maitland
I grew up here in Central Florida. After high school I went to University of Florida, then decided to brave the cold weather in Milwaukee for medical school. I joined the U.S. Navy and did my pediatric internship at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.I loved pediatrics and caring for children. After my internship, my country needed me to serve the troops as a Naval flight surgeon. While it took me away from my first love of pediatrics, it offered me so many unique experiences flying in airplanes and helicopters and caring for our Marine and Naval air crew. I got to travel the world from Japan to Korea and even to Iraq.After exiting the Navy, I completed my residency at Duke University in pediatrics. As a U.S. Marine Corps spouse, I practiced in multiple U.S. cities as well as Japan (again). I love that I am back into pediatrics and Central Florida doing my life calling. I love general pediatrics because there is such a variety of visits from treating sick children to helping kids meet their milestones to just watching kids grow into healthy, well-adjusted adults. Pediatrics allows us to really make a difference through prevention and guidance. Overall, I am passionate about giving your child the brightest future while keeping them feeling healthy and well. I am very experienced in mental health and manage a lot of ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Seeing the progression of development in a young baby to a toddler and teen is heartwarming for me. Outside of work I enjoy traveling, reading, doing puzzles, and Peloton. I have even visited the Peloton studio. I love vacationing and hanging out with my two children who are entering the teen years (scary but rewarding). I try to give parents tools and education to make their children as healthy and happy as possible. As a mom of two, I relate to the trials and tribulations of parenting. Dr. Kushnir is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Common Cold, Food Allergy, Obesity in Children, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dr. Kushnir is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.
Nemours Children's Health, Oviedo
As a mother of four, I understand none of my kids grew up “by the book.” Being a mother has helped me be a better pediatrician. I am so thankful for my children and for my wonderful patients — they are the best teachers. I am a reflective person. Being around children allows me to take a step back and savor the small, meaningful moments of life. I get to welcome new life and joy with families. I love seeing the surprise and awe on a baby's face when he rolls over for the first time. I laugh when learning fun facts with a chatty child. I gush when I see sweet siblings read together. I am with families during their most joyous, but also their most vulnerable times. With children, I know my care can make a life-long impact. In medicine, everyday conversations are as important as the critical illnesses. I appreciate being able to guide and educate children and families in order to help these bright minds reach their full potential. I have an affinity for children with special needs. I embrace diversity, learning about history and cultures, and appreciating our similarities and differences. I feel so fortunate that in medicine, I have the ability to constantly learn with and from families, continuously grow and evolve, and provide that knowledge to help others. As a pediatrician, I am honored to be a partner in your child's care. Always listening, my goal is to be able to provide families detailed information to help make the best medical decisions. I want to be a safe place for patients to share their concerns. Although a doctor's office can be a frightening place for a child, I try my best to relate to my patients and put them at ease.

I grew up in Oviedo and attended the University of Central Florida for a BS in Molecular Biology and Microbiology, and for my medical degree.

I have always found it very rewarding to care for kids throughout periods of illness and wellness. Keeping the ones I love healthy is the reason I am a pediatrician today, and I look forward to caring for your child in the same way.

I strive to help families feel in control of their child's care and confident in the plan, both in keeping kids healthy and in handling acute or complex medical conditions. My professional interests also include quality improvement, medical education and volunteer work. The best way I can understand the needs of my patients and their families is by being present, attentive and a good listener.
