A Farewell and a Welcome at Peconic
Pediatrics
Please join us in wishing a fond farewell to Dr. Sonya Palathumpat as she and her husband relocated to California. It has been such a pleasure working with Dr. Palathumpat and we will miss her! Dr. P will be leaving Peconic on June 25th. Drs. Meah and Kasnicki will each be in Southold once a week after Dr. Palathumpat's departure.
On a happier note, we are thrilled to welcome Kerri Roeschto the Peconic team in Riverhead. Kerri is a certified Physician Assistant with nine years of experience caring for children. She completed her Physician Assistant studies at Touro College and her undergraduate studies at Quinnipiac University. Her experience includes primary care and urgent care here on Long Island, as well as pediatric surgery, trauma and burn care at Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters in Norfolk, VA. Kerri's interests include nutrition and fitness and encouraging families to live well. Kerri is joining Peconic Pediatrics in Riverhead on July 1st.
Thank you for trusting us with the care of your children!
