GENERAL PEDIATRICS LOCATED IN TALLADEGA, AL
Dr Brian
Pediatrician
Dr. Brian was born and raised in a small suburb outside of Cleveland, OH. He went on to receive his undergraduate degrees from the University of Dayton before attending Wright State University in Dayton, OH for medical school. He then completed three years of pediatric residency training at Children’s of Alabama followed by a one-year fellowship in palliative medicine at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. He spent the next seven years dedicated to tending to the specific needs of a vulnerable population of patients, ranging from premature newborns through early adulthood, diagnosed with multiple chronic, complex medical conditions, before deciding to transfer the skills he learned back into the world of general pediatric primary care. Dr. Brian has a special place in his heart for treating children with developmental and mental health concerns as well as raising awareness in the surrounding local communities to ensure these patients and their families get access to all of the multidisciplinary resources they deserve. Outside the office you can find him spending every single free moment with his amazing wife and three young kids. Dr. Brian is beyond grateful for the opportunity to partner alongside your family and considers it the most humbling privilege imaginable to be a small part of the team responsible for helping take care of your child.
