Caroline Buckley, MD

My dad had cancer when I was growing up, so I spent a lot of time in hospitals. I was so grateful for how much the doctors helped him and our family. I got into medicine because I wanted to help others in a similar way. I am especially passionate about newborn care, adolescent care, pediatric mental health, caring for kids with complex medical conditions, and supporting neurodiversity.

My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based medicine, clear communication, and a deep respect for the needs of each child. I work hard to make visits fun, friendly, and as stress‑free as possible — because when kids feel comfortable, they’re more open, honest, and engaged in their own health. I partner closely with my patients and their parents, teaching them bodily autonomy and empowering them to make the best possible decisions about their care.

I love working with kids. Their honesty, imagination, and energy are infectious. And they’re hilarious! Helping kids feel safe, confident, and curious about their own health gives me a lot of joy.
