Paul Gilbert, MD, FAAP

"Dr. Paul Gilbert is a board-certified pediatrician who grew up in northern Indiana and graduated with honors from Purdue University with a bachelors degree in biochemistry.  He then completed his medical school training at Johns Hopkins University, ranked the #1 Hospital in America by U.S. News & World Report.  During medical school, he did research on antibiotic drug discovery, tutored at a local elementary school, and taught a local “Sunday School” class every weekend.  He graduated with honors, being elected to the prestigious national medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha.

He then traveled to his family’s home state, Florida, to complete his pediatric training at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg.  During his residency, he was published in Contemporary Pediatrics, a peer-reviewed pediatric journal and won the “Resident Teacher” award.  He created and implemented a new curriculum to improve residents’ teaching skills and thoroughly enjoys working with residents and medical students.  At the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics inaugural “Brain Bowl” competition amongst the 9 pediatric residency programs in Florida, he helped lead the Johns Hopkins All Children’s team to victory and the State Championship title.

His passion for working with children extends beyond the medical field, as he has worked for 7 summers at a sleep-away camp, KenMont & KenWood.  There he has had experience as a general counselor, head staff, and camp physician (and novice water skier).  He hopes to maintain a strong connection with summer camps throughout his career.

He is an Affiliate Assistant Professor of General Pediatrics at The Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University, and the recipient of “Top Doctor” for 2017 & 2018 with Palm Beach Illustrated.

In his free time, he enjoys reading, golfing, and taking advantage of the Florida life (Disney Annual Passholder and expert beach-goer)."

"At Boca VIPediatrics, we believe that all kids and families should be treated like V.I.P.s (Very Important Patients & Very Important Parents)! We take an individualized approach to your child’s care, tailoring each visit and treatment plan that best benefits our patients, thus avoiding the all too familiar “assembly line” approach in many pediatric practices. With a much smaller patient base, you’ll have 24/7 access to reach your Boca Raton pediatrician for maximum peace-of-mind.

Using our highly personalized membership plan, parents will have red carpet, front-of-the-line access to discuss their child’s health at any time. This often leads to earlier diagnosis and interventions, putting your concerns at ease and getting your child better, faster.

At Boca VIPediatrics, it’s all about our V.I.P.s. We schedule fewer patients per day, with no long wait times, and highly personalized care. Each appointment lasts as long as necessary. We believe that time with your family should never be spent in a waiting room, preventing unnecessary exposure to other germs.

The dynamics of Boca VIPediatrics enables us to focus more on wellness and prevention than most pediatric practices."
