About Me

I look forward to forming relationships with my patients and their caregivers so that we, as a team, can determine the best way to promote health in each individual child. I also enjoy passing on what I have learned through medical teaching.

I am a board-certified general pediatrician and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. My practice is dedicated to the care of children from birth until adulthood, focusing on both their physical and mental health. I have particular interests in breastfeeding support and preventative care for children of all ages and abilities, including coordination of care for patients with complex medical issues. I have experience working in both private and hospital-based practices during my 25 years in this field. I have been heavily involved in continuing medical education as well as office emergency preparedness.

Outside of work, I enjoy camping and traveling with my family, including my grown children and grandchildren.

Education

Temple University School of Medicine, 1993
St. Christophers Hospital for Children, 1993 - 1996

*Dr. Koehler is an outstanding provider. I refer patients, family & friends to her often. Would not trust my child's care with anyone else.

Follow-up from annual check. Some minor health care concerns and assistance for navigating upcoming psychological evaluations to assist academic and emotional concerns.

Dr Kohler is a great provider. She even went outside business hours to personally call me and check in on our son. Her empathy and compassion towards children is very evident in her practice

My daughter's lymph node is swollen and has been since April. I was concerned that it was still present and the doctor made me feel valid and understood why I was concerned but then reassured me that my daughter is doing very well and because she is petite it may still be visible to us. She also ordered blood work for piece of mind and gave us information for places trained specifically for young children. She is a saint and we love having her as our daughter's pediatrician! Having our first pediatrician be less understanding or warm was a challenge especially since our daughter was 3 months premature. We just fully appreciate how wonderful and professional Dr. Koelher is!
