Pediatric Affiliates announced that Rochelle Braun, M.D., a board-certified pediatrician with more than 35 years of experience, joined its Jackson, New Jersey, location on October 14. Dr. Braun brings extensive expertise in general pediatrics and nutrition counseling, strengthening the practice's commitment to compassionate, personalized care for families throughout Ocean County. Appointments with Dr. Braun are now available.
Dr. Braun is dedicated to listening closely to children and parents and developing meaningful relationships with the families she serves. She finds it especially rewarding to care for children throughout each stage of development, helping families make informed decisions that support their children's health and well-being. "We are very excited to welcome Dr. Braun to Pediatric Affiliates," said Dr. Ira Haimowitz. "Her decades of experience, thoughtful approach to patient care, and dedication to building lasting relationships with families make her an excellent addition to our Jackson team."
Dr. Braun earned her Bachelor of Arts in Nutrition from Brooklyn College and her medical degree from Downstate Medical School in 1989. She completed her pediatric residency at Schneider Children's Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in 1992 and has been board certified in pediatrics since 1995. Her background in nutrition complements her broad clinical experience and allows her to provide families with guidance tailored to each child's individual health and developmental needs.
Dr. Braun grew up in Brooklyn's Borough Park community and has lived in Midwood for more than 20 years. She and her husband, Seymour, have seven married children and a growing family in Lakewood and Jerusalem. Her strong community connections and understanding of the families she serves will further enhance the trusted, relationship-centered care available at Pediatric Affiliates. "As our practice continues to grow, we remain focused on welcoming physicians who share our commitment to compassionate, accessible, and family-centered pediatric care," said Dr. Robert Shanik. "Dr. Braun brings tremendous experience and a genuine appreciation for the relationships between providers, children, and parents. We are proud to welcome her to Pediatric Affiliates."
