Treating your Treasures, Tiny and Tall!
Welcome to Pediatrics South Online! Your resource for information about Pittsburgh's largest independent pediatrics practice. We have been providing quality care for over 50 years...which means we have patients who not only grew up coming to us, but are now bringing their children, or even their grandchildren to us! We have built a reputation and a presence in the community for providing warm and friendly service and continue to be committed to delivering the finest pediatric care in the area.
| We regret to announce that as of August 13th, Dr. Toby Ascherman will be leaving the medical staff of Pediatrics South and moving her family to Florida. Dr. Ascherman joined this practice in 1998, and during those 12 years, has provided our patients with excellent health care. A comprehensive physician with an ability to relate and empathize with families, Dr. Acherman's commuication skills, compassion and natural gentility have been deeply appreciated by our families and staff alike. We will all greatly miss her talents and her sweet smiles; for, in paraphrasing Dr. Ascheramn's own often-used words, it has been "our pleasure" to have known her. We know many of you would like to say your "good-byes", however Dr. Ascherman's remaining schedule is very full. We will gladly pass along any notes and well wishes to her! A NOTE FROM DR. ASCHERMAN TO OUR PATIENTS: Dear Patients, Family and Friends, It is with mixed emotion that I announce that I will be leaving Pediatrics South. As some of you may have heard, my family is relocating to Miami, Florida. While the move is a positive one for my family, I will certainly miss caring for your families. Thank you for entrusting me with taking care of your children. I leave secure in the knowledge that the providers at Pediatrics South will continue to provide thorough, warm and supportive treatment. Thanks for everything and keep in touch! Toby Ascherman, M.D. |
