Meet one of our newest pediatricians, Katherine Kaufman, MD. Dr. Kaufman specializes in rheumatology and is an expert at evaluating, diagnosing, and treating children who suffer from a variety of different bone, muscle, and joint disorders. She is so passionate about her work that she is also an active member of both the American College of Rheumatology and the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance.
Dr. Jennifer Smith is one of CarolinaEast Pediatrics’ newest team members. Her love for children influenced her to become a pediatrician, and she enjoys using her medical expertise to help treat patients each day. In 2016, she received her medical degree from Wake Forest University School of Medicine, then completed her residency at Carolina’s Medical Center in Pediatrics in Charlotte, NC. Shortly thereafter, she moved east and became a pediatrician at our practice. She is a vital asset to our team, and we are glad to welcome her!
CarolinaEast Pediatrics is proud to have Jessica Friedlander, PA-C, as a new addition to our pediatric team! Before moving to North Carolina, she completed a Physician Assistant residency program at the University of Kentucky Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She is a North Carolina Board-Certified Physician Assistant, as well as a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Physician Assistants. With two boys of her own, she enjoys working with children and couldn’t imagine a different career!
