Woman Leaves Big Medicine To Spend More Time With Patients

By Sharon Devaney

Jeanne Velasco, M.D., left main stream medicine to start a practice focusing on families. Pharmaceuticals would be minimal and the care would include diet, meditation and others treatments not beloved by corporate bean-counters.

Especially important is that patient visits are not timed.

She said a previous job with a huge health conglomerate doctors were limited to seven minutes per patient.

So Lansdale Pediatrics was started with three other doctors. It’s part of the Advocare physicians group.

Children are encouraged to limit social media screen time, play outside, and learn board games.

And especially get off the phones.

Lansdale Pediatrics pushes families to spend time each day together whether it’s cooking a meal, or doing household chores and yard work.

This is all explained in the initial appointment.

Traditional insurance is accepted.

The staff’s continuing education includes mainstream medicine but adds non-traditional things like diet , meditation, reading and calming methods to help with stress for children in the preteen and teenage years.

Again prescription drugs are minimized, says Dr. Velasco

Dr Velasco is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and is board certified wit the American Board of Pediatrics.

She is married and the couple lives in Philadelphia with their two dogs

Lansdale Prediatrics is at 1240 S. Broad St., Suite 130 Lansdale, PA 19446
