Q&A with Dr. Lamothe-Jones
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
This is a hard one. Growing up it was always The Little Mermaid, once I had kids it changed to Moana because my daughter looks just like her. Right now, in 2025, I am totally into KPOP Demon Hunters!!!
What is your favorite children's book and why?
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see? is my all time favorite. When my son was born 14 years ago, I got this gift as a baby shower gift. He loved it and we would read it every night. We passed it down to my daughter who loved it also. Now it is tradition to buy this book for any friend or family member expecting.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
I had a Cabbage Patch doll - the bald boy and his name was Robert. Yes, I am an 80s baby and very proud of it!
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My greatest inspiration is my dad. We immigrated to this country from Montreal, Canada in 1993 in search of a better life, and more opportunities. He didn't speak the language but he was fueled with determination, passion and a dream. He was such a force. He is the reason I am who I am today. He encouraged me to become a physician. He never gave up on me and always believed in me even when I did not believe in myself. I miss him dearly.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Working out, mainly weight training is my mental escape. I realized a long time ago that I can only be the best version of myself if I prioritize this time for myself. Without that, I will not be the best wife, mother, friend or doctor. I also believe that life is too short, so take that trip!! I am very much a YOLO type of person and I travel as much as I can. On the fun side, I enjoy decorating cakes! I took a cake decorating class in medical school and I fell in love with it. I make all my kids cakes every year for their birthdays as a tradition. I have come a long way but now I have 14 years of experience LOL
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
Ironically, I went to medical school to be an OBGYN. I had previously taken a leap year after college and worked at a Women's Center. However, when I did my 3rd year OBGYN rotation in medical school, I realized that I did not love it as much as I thought I would. My following rotation was in pediatrics at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. Much to my surprise, I absolutely fell in love with the medicine and my pediatric patients. I knew in that moment this is where I was meant to be.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I am a firm in believer in taking the time to listen to my patients/parents and validate their concerns when they come into my office. I went into medicine to help educate and guide my patients, provide reassurance when needed, and I really try to go the extra mile to make sure when they leave the office there are no further questions and we have a clear plan moving forward.

She immediately took action by giving us referrals to an allergist and dermatologist.
My son’s eczema had become very severe, and after visiting multiple doctors with no real help, we finally saw Jennifer Krieger, PA-C in Pembroke Pines. She immediately took action by giving us referrals to an allergist and dermatologist and prescribing something for relief. She cared for my son as if he were her own, showing true compassion and professionalism.She made sure he was comfortable throughout the visit. She genuinely wanted to help and make sure my son felt better. I’m so grateful for her kindness and highly recommend her to any parent seeking genuine care.

what to expect and not.
This was my first time my child being seen at the Pembroke Location. I'm so happy we were placed with Doctor Martha. She had given me valuable information and prescription to make my child feel illness less irritable, what to expect and not. When I should bring my child back.

Grateful to have found this place for that unexpected sickness.
Grateful to have found this place for that unexpected sickness in the middle of the work week. Last two times, I went during after hours as a walk in and they where able to accomodate my 1year old baby boy to be seen by a pediatrician. Place is clean, staff is nice. Walked out with his medication already ordered. All set with peace of mind.

Dr. Marie Jones, was PHENOMENAL and has a very sweet presence and spirit. Very kind and you can tell that she thrives in her profession. I’m happy that I chose her to be my daughter’s doctor. The staff here are AMAZING. Very very nice. You can tell that they take pride in what they do. Facility is clean, very quiet atmosphere. I’m so happy that they welcomed my daughter with open arms.
