Doctor Details:

Dr Playforth is a board-certified, Harvard-educated pediatrician and mom who found herself frustrated by the current healthcare system. She worked in a traditional practice for many years before realizing that she was tired of having to see patients every 10-15 minutes for cursory appointments, rather than being able to take the time needed to really listen, to get to know patients and their families, and to discuss preventive health, mental health, and all the other things that go into helping a child thrive.

Apart from clinical medicine, Dr Playforth has a special interest in healthcare education for parents. In 2020, she founded The Pediatrician Mom, an online educational platform that provides balanced, evidence-based information for parents. She is regularly featured in the media, and has been seen on NBC, CNN, Today, Forbes, NYTimes, NewsNationNow, HuffPost, and more. She also authored several books, and helped to develop a program to teach parents about Baby Led Feeding.

Clinic Details:

Old-fashioned pediatric practice… For the modern age.

 

Warm Heart Pediatrics is for the parent who is looking for more from their child’s doctor.

More time. More listening. More support. More compassion.

In the moments when you are worried or your child is sick, you need to know you have a reliable pediatrician on your team. A physician who knows your child, whose instincts you trust, who can communicate well, and who can handle challenges. A pediatrician you can reliably and directly reach without jumping through hoops—so you can get advice (and reassurance) when you need it.

Not easy to find in today’s healthcare system.

I founded Warm Heart Pediatrics to achieve these seemingly elusive goals. By limiting practice size and removing barriers to time, access, and quality, I can focus on providing excellent, personalized care. Minimal wait times, longer visits, and care from the same pediatrician every time? These are our standards of care.

As a pediatrician, I have always cared for my patients the way I care for my own children. I want to get to know you and your child. To watch the video of your baby’s first steps, see pictures of their kindergarten graduation, and celebrate college acceptances with you.

If this is the type of relationship you are looking for, please reach out.
