Podcast Pediatricians

Podcast Pediatricians is co-hosted and created by Drs. Matt Gotthold and Rob Walter, two community pediatricians who are friends, competitors and affable antagonists. Despite the exhaustion of battling insurance companies and 3 am phone calls, we LOVE practicing pediatrics. We are front-line pediatric caregivers who, between us, see hundreds of patients per week. We are truly independent voices. We sign our own paychecks. <br /> With over 50 years of combined pediatric experience, we are eager to share what we know and think with anyone with an interest in understanding and promoting the well-being of infants, children, teens, and young adults. Our intended audience includes savvy parents, and pediatric caregivers of all stripes: nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, family docs, residents, medical students, and our fellow pediatricians. Our conversational tangents may frequently be wide-ranging, often encompassing popular culture and a few rants, but we always try to bring things back to what this podcast is primarily about: the health of children and their families.<br />
