About Me

 I am a pediatrician for St. Luke’s University Health Network. I see children under the age of 18 at St. Luke’s Quakertown Pediatrics and moms/babies at St. Luke’s Baby & Me Support Center.

I have always believed that I am working in partnership with parents to aide them in raising happy and healthy children. I have had an interest in breastfeeding since residency and started helping mothers and babies over 20 years ago, becoming a member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and Fellow of the same organization for over 10 years.

My goal with breastfeeding is to help mothers reach their goals, whatever they may be. I have done additional training through the Reach Institute in the area of psychiatry for the primary care provider in order to help children and adolescents who are struggling in the every increasingly stressful world in which we live.

I am on the board of directors for the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and have been a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics for over 25 years.

When I am not working, I like to read, walk, and spend time with my family (when they are home).

I really enjoyed seeing this provider. She was extremely knowledgeable and thorough with her visit. I wish I knew how long the appointment would take because I had to leave and would have loved to interact with her more because she had such great information. Thank you so much for everything!

Dr. Straussman saw us since Dr. Mira was out of office unexpectedly. Dr. Straussman was absolutely wonderful with explaining my son's new diagnosis of Torticollis, prescribing Physical Therapy for him and helping me understand how I could breastfeed him better since his positioning is compromised at this time with the Torticollis he has. We absolutely loved Dr. Straussman, her professionalism, explanations and help with ensuring our new baby thrives!
