Meet Dr. Suzanne Vining 💛

A North Carolina native at heart, Dr. Vining made her way back home after years of practicing pediatrics across the country and abroad as an Army spouse, joining the Oberlin Pediatrics family in 2011.

She loves walking alongside families as kids grow—talking through everything from healthy habits to big feelings (and she’ll be the first to tell you she loves a good rash!). She has a special place in her heart for military families and the many transitions they navigate.

Outside the office, Dr. Vining enjoys all things food—trying new restaurants, cooking, and gathering people she loves around the table. She’s also a proud mom/stepmom to three wonderful kids (plus Carl the dog).

We’re so grateful for Dr. Vining and the thoughtful, compassionate care she brings to our families every day!

Babies can’t blow their noses, but with saline and gentle suction, you can help them breathe easier during a cold. These tips are based on guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics via HealthyChildren.org.

Save this for the next sniffly season 🤍

You may have seen some headlines lately about changes to the CDC’s vaccine schedule. We want you to hear directly from us.

Here at Oberlin Road Pediatrics, we follow the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule — the same one we trust for our own kids. It’s built on decades of solid science and has helped protect generations of children from serious illness and death.

Vaccines prevent some truly awful diseases. Because of them, kids today are safer and healthier.

Here’s what your family should know:

- Nothing has changed when it comes to access. Your child can still receive all the vaccines recommended by their pediatrician.

- Immunizations remain covered by insurance and state-supported health plans.

- The science hasn’t changed. There’s no new research behind this shift, and the evidence still strongly supports the full vaccine schedule.

We’re confused and frustrated by the sudden change — but our commitment hasn’t changed at all. We’re here to look out for your kids, just like we always have.
