Meet the Team

Fenton Pediatrics is now part of Washington University Physicians.

We understand how important good health care is to your child. That is why each child is treated with special care by our trusted and knowledgeable doctors, nurse practitioner and staff. We provide comprehensive health care for infants, children and adolescents.

We share the same commitment to excellence you associate with Washington University Physicians and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. When needed, we connect patients to the advanced technology and consultative support of both.
