Get to Know Me

Melinda Danowitz is a board-certified pediatrician who specializes in pediatric endocrinology. 

Why I Treat Children

I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to take care of children. I love that my job allows me to be silly at times, and I will always try to make my patients feel at ease and not fear coming to the doctor’s office.

What I'm Passionate About

Helping children and their families make positive lifestyle changes. I teach group exercise classes outside of the hospital, and I love getting to combine my love for pediatric endocrinology with a passion for fitness.
