The Pediatric Care Center is sorry to announce that Dr. Karin Belsito has left the Pediatric Care Center as of April 1. After great consideration, she has decided to pursue opportunities that will allow her to expand her ability to provide care in her specialty of Developmental Pediatrics.

All of us here at the Pediatric Care Center wish Dr. Belsito the very best and will miss having her here in the practice. But we look forward to continuing to work with her in caring for our special needs patients when she begins this new and exciting phase of her career. We thank her for all she has contributed to our practice.
