    Dr. Judith N. Feick is a board-certified, primary care pediatrician with more than 25 years of experience in private practice. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP) and member, American Medical Association, Wilmington New Castle Pediatric Association and the Medical Society of Delaware. I’ve always wanted to be an advocate for people in need, especially children. One of the greatest joys of my life is seeing a child get better — and seeing him or her grow up over the years. In fact, some of my earliest patients have gone on to graduate from college, get jobs, have families of their own, and their children are now my patients. I could not imagine a day without kids in it. I like to stay up to date with the latest developments in medicine, from current events that affect us all to the latest breakthroughs in research and pediatric treatments. I do a lot of reading (for fun!) on medicine and child and adolescent development. I read textbooks, as well as pharmaceutical and medical journals. I love the science of medicine and I love the art of it too. I do it so I can be at my best as a doctor, and so I can pass on any useful info to patients and families about how to stay in good health and maintain proper fitness and nutrition. Nothing is more delightful to me than seeing kids get better and stay that way. In my work, I believe this involves being willing to go beyond what is required or expected, and really connecting to my patients on a personal level. They’re a part of my life and I hope they feel I'm a part of theirs as well.Outside of my work, I volunteer with church organizations, help raise money for organizations and am active in a women’s group. I've worked with Family Promise, a group that helps the homeless. I've volunteered with the Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts, and I have taught 4th and 5th grade classes on health and medicine. I have worked at career fairs at St. Mark’s High School. I have spoke to a group of University of Delaware students about medical careers. I'm also interested in mission work. Dr. Feick is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Obesity in Children, Developmental Dysphasia Familial, Delayed Growth, and Croup. Dr. Feick is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics. Dr. Feick is currently accepting new patients.

    Dr. Karen M. Kelly is a board-certified, primary care pediatrician with more than 20 years of experience in private practice. She is a fellow, American Academy of Pediatrics, and board member of Heal Autism Now Delaware (HAND). I was always interested in medicine, even as a young girl. Then, when I was in high school and college, I remember being interested in the way kids’ minds worked, and wanted to help them stay in good health. This helped decide my path through medical school and, 20-some years later, to where I am today. Children are also so fun — it really makes for a happy career. I’m really passionate about the interactions I have with the kids — and their families. I do all I can to help each family raise a healthy, happy child. I urge them as strongly as I can on things they should be doing to ensure good health, including things like proper exercise and nutrition. At the same time, I like to have as pleasant an interaction with each child and family as I can — it makes things better for us all. I try to help each child and family see the importance of good health and good decisions when it comes to daily lifestyle choices like food and exercise. I also try to treat each child in the way that works best for them — what’s most appropriate for their age and what works best for their individual personality. I try and get each kid involved in their own care, so I don’t just talk to the family. That usually works well — unless, of course, a child is so young that he or she can’t talk yet. Dr. Kelly is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Obesity in Children, Croup, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU). Dr. Kelly is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics. Dr. Kelly is currently accepting new patients.

    Being a pediatrician is so much fun, and being around children makes me happy. Every day I teach and counsel families, and every day they teach me something new. It is a true privilege to watch my patients grow and to have the opportunity to learn from them and build relationships with their families. I’m excited to teach residents and medical students about early childhood development and autism in the same way I was taught. I am lucky to have had great mentors in the field who taught me medicine in a very supportive environment. My mentors inspired in me curiosity, compassion and service and, by teaching the next generation of clinicians, I hope to pay it forward. As a pediatrician, I see myself as an advocate for children, always putting the patient’s needs first. I listen attentively to each child and family, identify what is needed, and then represent their voice. Much of my day-to-day work involves addressing any barriers the family may encounter in seeking and receiving coordinated care. Dr. Perry is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Dysphasia Familial, Increased Head Circumference, and Microcephaly Deafness Syndrome. Dr. Perry is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics. Dr. Perry is currently accepting new patients.

    As a kid, I enjoyed science, particularly biology. I also had a strong desire to help people, which is why I chose medicine. Today, my expertise is in child abuse pediatrics, where I medically evaluate children for abuse or neglect, and help differentiate accidental from inflicted (abusive) injuries. During my first year in medical school, I was fortunate to get to know Dr. Lee Salk, a well-known child psychologist. His influence stimulated my interest in the physical and emotional well-being of children. From then on, after working with remarkably resilient children, I know I made the right choice. I’m passionate about preventing accidental and abusive childhood injuries. I like to help improve parenting skills and talk about effective and appropriate discipline.

Dr. De Jong is board certified in Pediatrics, Child Abuse, and American Board Of Pediatrics. Dr. De Jong is currently accepting new patients.
