Please join me in welcoming Dr. Kathleen Starr to our group. She has been a pediatrician for nearly 25 years at Streeterville Pediatrics which will be closing in March.
As a staff physician at Northwestern and Lurie Children’s Hospital, I have seen her in the hallways of Prentice Women’s Hospital since 2009- I am confident she will take excellent care of the families in Weissbluth Pediatrics Starting on April 6th at our Northwestern (Streeterville) location!
-Daniel Weissbluth

Kathy's Statement to our families: Having seen Dr. Weissbluth in the halls of Prentice for the last 16 years, I am very excited to join his group and take care of all the new patients and families. Additionally, the increased accessibility and personalized care at WP will really resonate with my existing patients and I hope they all follow me as I start a new chapter in my professional career. I cannot wait to begin and meet everyone!

How it started 👉 how it's going. Please help us in wishing Nurse Practitioner Dawn a big CONGRATS on 30 years of delivering exceptional care in her nursing journey. We're so happy to have you as part of the WP team!

A message from Nurse Practitioner Dawn:
"For the past 30 years, I’ve had the joy and privilege of caring for children and families in a variety of settings. My nursing journey began as a pediatric office nurse in Boston, continued through roles as a med-surg and ER nurse at Lurie Children’s Hospital, took me on a dozen trips to provide pediatric medical care in the mountains of Haiti, and evolved into two decades as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner serving families in the Chicago suburbs. Today, I’m grateful to be part of the wonderful team at Weissbluth Pediatrics, where I continue to do what I love most—supporting children’s health and helping families thrive."

👩‍⚕️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.

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
Some tips and tricks for keeping your kiddos healthy when temps hover at (or below!) freezing 🥶

✅ Humidity💨 Keep humidifiers running in bedrooms all day (don’t forget to close the door!) so that the air is nice and moist at bedtime.

✅ Citrus 🍊 Drink OJ, eat grapefruit, put lemon on everything. Citrus fruits are packed with Vitamin C which is critical to immune function!

✅ Steam Showers🚿 Feeling stuffed up? Great excuse for a lengthy steam shower – turn the temp up as hot as you can stand it to loosen things up :)

✅ Moisturize🧴Eczema and psoriasis are exacerbated by dry air. Keep hand lotion by the side of the sink, and moisturize your kiddos before bed AND before getting dressed for school.

✅ Change Clothes👖After coming home from school, sports, or birthday parties – have your little one change clothes. Keep an extra set at the door so that they don’t trek germs in the house (especially if you have a baby or grandparent living with you)!

✅ Layer up🧣 Instead of cranking the heat when temps sink, consider wearing another layer instead – your delicate mucus membranes will thank you.
