What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to teach, mentor, and contribute to pediatric healthcare advancements.

I am Dr. Kimberly Graziano, a dedicated pediatrician with over two decades of experience in outpatient pediatrics. As the founder of Pelican Pediatrics LLC, I have cultivated a thriving practice that emphasizes compassionate care and evidence-based medicine. My commitment to pediatric health is reflected in my active clinical practice and my role as a pediatric expert witness.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a peer reviewer for the Florida Department of Health and as a pediatric reviewer for SSA/Disability Appeals. I am also a clinical instructor in pediatrics at the USF Nurse Practitioner Program, where I share my knowledge and passion for pediatric medicine with the next generation of healthcare providers. My past experiences include working as a primary care pediatrician and a pediatric/neonatal hospitalist, where I honed my skills in critical care and patient management.
