The mission of Upper Valley Pediatrics, as a Patient Centered Medical Home, is to provide pediatric and adolescent patients with comprehensive and respectful care in a timely manner and in a safe environment.
We take pride in and place an emphasis on quality of care, accessibility and a trusting relationship between the providers, staff, and the patients we care for. We offer access to evidence-based care and self-management support incorporated into quality health care services. Our care will not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, immigration status, geographic location and/or socio-economic status. We strive to foster a sense of community.
Dr. Rebecca grew up as a Jersey Girl. She moved to Massachusetts for college, and although she has moved many times since, she has landed in the Upper Valley to stay. Dr. Rebecca graduated from Smith College and then spent two years teaching high school chemistry at National Cathedral School in Washington DC before heading to medical school. She graduated from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2001.
Following her internship year at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, Dr. Rebecca transferred to New Hampshire to complete her residency at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. She stayed to do a Chief year and then moved to Baltimore, MD, to help start a hospitalist program at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. After two years in the city during which she was married and had twins, her family found it was time to return to the Upper Valley. It was in 2007 that Dr. Rebecca first joined Upper Valley Pediatrics as an attending pediatrician. She left once more to work in Washington State, but after 13 months decided that the west coast was never going to be home. So, she returned to VT and shortly after took over ownership from founding physician Mark Harris, MD.
When not at work, you will most likely find Dr. Rebecca skiing, mountain biking, hiking or pursuing some other adventure with her husband and three sons.
