Notă biografică
Polly J. Panitz, MD, is a developmental pediatrician whose career has centered on partnering with general pediatricians and families to support the development of young children. Her approach emphasizes teaching strategies for structuring the natural environment of children and fostering collaboration among caregivers, educators, and health care clinicians.
Dr Panitz earned her medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine and completed her residency in general pediatrics at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. She completed a fellowship in behavioral and developmental pediatrics at Evanston Hospital. Her clinical career has included positions in general pediatrics at the University of Texas at San Antonio and in private practice in Northern Virginia. She later established herself as a specialist embedded within a large 5-site pediatric practice, where she provided both diagnostic assessments and longitudinal care for children with developmental concerns, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism. In addition to direct patient care, Dr Panitz has run parenting support groups and classes, coordinated care across medical and educational teams, and provided consultation on school-based educational planning. She has contributed to statewide pediatric education through Virginia's Mental Health Access Program for general pediatric clinicians where she taught about early childhood development and led case-based discussions.
Dr Panitz is now retired from practice and is involved in a variety of community-based volunteer endeavors. She enjoys playing cello, biking, hiking, and spending as much time as possible with her family.
