About

Dr. Namrata Pai Wheeler, MD
Welcome! I'm Dr. Nam Wheeler, board-certified pediatrician with over 20 years of experience. I love working with kids and families and am passionate about helping children of all ages to grow, heal, and thrive.

After working for private and hospital corporation-owned practices, I created Petite Pediatric Care to reestablish the doctor-family relationship that is missing from typical healthcare settings. By limiting our practice size, and by removing the barriers imposed by insurance companies and large impersonal practices that insist on more patients in less time, we are putting the focus back on our patients and on your peace of mind.

Our mission is to provide expert, personalized care in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect with excellent service, communication, warmth, and compassion.

By combining medical expertise with a whole child approach, we strive to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care that nurtures your child's total well-being.

While we firmly believe in the importance of antibiotics when they are needed, we also believe in the power of time and the immune system to heal. We believe in real food, exercise, reading, and sunshine. We believe in the ancient wisdom of some natural remedies. We believe each child is unique and special.

When I'm not helping kids, I love spending time with my husband (a fellow Blue Devil) and our family--two wonderful kids and one sweet dog. I love to travel, cook healthy and delicious meals (my creative outlet!), read, hike, and watch British detective shows.

I am so excited to partner with you on this amazing journey of parenthood--
Come grow with us!
