Q&A with Dr. Papadimitriou
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Despicable Me
What is your favorite children's book and why?
The Giving Tree
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Transformers and Barbies
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My parents and my children
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Hiking, riding bikes with my family, exercising and travelling the world
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
Interest in childhood development and the ever changing physiology. I also love kids.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I find ways to relate to all cultures, making families feel comfortable with my approach. We, ultimately, have a more friendly relationship. I have a tendency to share things about myself and my life that helps families feel like I am relatable. It helps that I love to joke with the kids so that they are comfortable, as well. I give families space for their concerns and emotions when they are concerned about their children.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
Our facilities do just that. We make space for additional equipment, translation services, etc.

incredibly warm and welcoming.
We recently saw Sally Ehrich, a new NP at the practice, and had such a great experience. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, which instantly put both me and my baby at ease. My almost 7-month-old was relaxed the entire visit and seemed so comfortable in her presence. It’s clear that Sally is wonderful with children and has a natural, gentle approach. We are so happy to have her as part of the team and look forward to seeing her again!
