Dr. Kim Parente has been practicing medicine for more than twenty years. “I always wanted to be a pediatrician, as long as I can remember – it was what I wanted to do. I love working with children and I’ve always wanted to make a difference in a child’s life.” Dr. Parente also enjoys seeing her patients grow up and seeing who they become. When asked about her philosophy of care, she stresses that you must, “Listen, listen, and listen.” In Dr. Parente’s spare time she likes to play tennis, cook, garden, run, and watch her kids play sports.
