Get to know pediatrician Dr. Catherine Hieronymus!

She explains why she decided to become a pediatrician: “I always felt the most like myself when interacting with kids! I can be funny and playful. Plus, kids usually have no filter, so you never know what they are going to say and I love it!”

Dr. Hieronymus brings that same energy to every visit, and her care extends beyond the patient: “In pediatrics, you not only treat the patient, but you also build a bond with the whole family. I love being a part of this journey!”

What brings her joy outside the office? “First and foremost, my daughter! She is the light of my life.” She also loves concerts, roller coasters, hiking, and being near water.
