Accepting new patients July 15, just in time for back to school and sports physicals. On July 15, Dr. Shalini Shah will join Dr. Rollins at Northside Cherokee Pediatrics. “As we added more patients, we knew we had to add another doctor in order to continue to offer the personal care that we have set as our standard,” says Dr. Rollins. “Dr. Shah grew up in nearby Alpharetta, so she knows the area and can relate to our patients. She has a warm touch and bubbly personality that will serve our patients well. Dr. Shah just clicked with us right away; we know she will be a great addition to our team.” Dr. Shah, a graduate of Penn State University and the American University of the Caribbean Medical School, recently completed her pediatric residency at Crozer Chester Medical Center and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she served as chief resident. In addition to being board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and certified in Pediatric Advanced Life Support and Neonatal Resuscitation, Dr. Shah is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She has special clinical interests in newborn care, weight management and obesity.
