Our Mission

Our mission, led by Dr. Karen Federici, a board-certified family physician and a fellow of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, extends beyond the health of our patients. We aim to empower mothers to trust their maternal instincts, achieve their breastfeeding goals, and be confident in their parenting and health choices. We believe every parent deserves a doctor who mentors them to trust their own instincts, rather than simply telling them what to do.
