This month 'Ohana OT has chosen:

Dr. Petra Swidler, MD

Dr. Petra Swidler, Developmental Pediatrician

Dr. Swidler is originally from Germany, where she completed her medical school training as well as her pediatric residency. Dr. Swidler likes to travel, so she decided to work in Australia for a while where she attended at a remote community hospital in Queensland and then at a teaching hospital in Adelaide.

Petra has family in the United States, so after living and working in Austria, she explored a career here. She completed a Pediatric residency in Iowa and a fellowship in Medical Genetics at the University of California in San Francisco. Petra moved to Wenatchee from St. Louis, Missouri where she practiced for the past 12 years in Medical Genetics and Developmental Pediatrics at the St. Louis University.

Dr. Swidler has a true passion for working with all children but holds a special place for children with developmental challenges.

Petra is a big outdoor enthusiast, and in her free time you can find her walking her two dogs with her daughter and husband in the Foothills of Wenatchee. See you on the Balsamroot trail!
