I could tell something was wrong as soon as my daughter Isabela was born.
But no matter how much I advocated for her, I spent 7 years being dismissed by doctors. So Isabela’s congenital heart condition went undiagnosed.
When Isabela was 6, I had another baby with a congenital condition. He sadly passed away 2 weeks after he was born.
Soon after that, Isabela started coughing up blood. Yet pediatricians, pulmonologists, and even ER doctors continued ignoring my concerns.
It wasn’t until I brought in physical proof of Isabela’s bleeding that I was finally taken seriously enough to get answers.
That precipitated lots of testing, multiple heart surgeries, and big changes for our family
Hi, I’m Nurse Heidi Meeker, co-founder
of Elliston Pediatrics
Hi, I’m Dr. Elliston, pediatrician and co-founder of Elliston Pediatrics
After dealing with those stressful years as a new mom, Heidi met me, her husband, Dr. Elliston.
I was responsible for the care of thousands of patients at a busy practice in NYC. I skipped meals, worked overtime, and still came home worried that I wasn’t giving patients enough time and attention.
Between the heartbreaking experiences we both endured as parents and medical professionals, we decided enough was enough.
That’s exactly why we founded Elliston Pediatrics:
To ensure no parent’s intuition is ignored, and every child gets the personalized attention they need.
Your pediatrician is your quarterback — but this full team is behind your every step
