👩‍⚕️Please join us in welcoming Dr. Jamie Sharma to the Weissbluth Pediatrics team! 🤝🎉Working primarily out of our Bucktown office, Dr. Jamie has a wealth of prior experience as a pediatrician, IBCLC, and mother of two littles. Learn more about Dr. Jamie below!

📍Where are you from?
I am from a small town called Rayland, Ohio… But I really consider myself a Chicagoan since moving here almost 10 years ago.

🩺 What made you want to become a pediatrician?
I really love the spark and joy kids bring- whether they’re sick or healthy. It’s so fun to work with them as they grow up.
I’ve found my approach as a pediatrician to be incredibly different since becoming a parent myself, and love getting to see young parents grow into their new roles.

💦You’re also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, which is unique for a doctor. What compelled you to get this certification?
I felt that by becoming an pediatrician and IBCLC, I could offer a unique and comprehensive approach to parents as they navigate the journey of feeding their child.

🎡What are your favorite things to do when you’re not seeing patients?
I love to spend time with my husband, two sons, and my shih-tzu Lola. Most weekends we are either at the zoo, a Chicago museum, seeing a movie, or going on an impromptu vacation, which often ends up being to Disneyland.

🍕What's your go-to pizza order, toppings and all?
100% Pequod’s pan pizza with cheese and green peppers.
Or satisfying my inner 90s kid with a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.
