Welcome to MVPediatrics

Thank you all,

I’m very glad to be back at the practice and grateful to everyone who took such good care of things while I was gone. At this point I’ll be focusing more on our fully integrated behavioral health program and stepping back from general pediatrics while remaining available to help out in any way the practice finds useful. From a practical point of view this means I will not be accepting any new babies or other primary care patients. Those patients I’ve had the privilege of taking care of should transition over to one of our other wonderful providers understanding, of course, that I will remain available to them and their new provider to be helpful anyway I can.

Mark Vonnegut, M.D.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Whitney Kirchoff joined our practice as of April 2018!

Dr. Whitney Kirchoff was born in Juneau, Alaska. She studied biomedical engineering at Duke University and then went to Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine where she was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Dr. Kirchoff completed her internship and residency in pediatrics at the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

“The most useful things we know, we have learned from our patients.“

Thank you for making MVPediatrics your favorite for the 4th year in a row!

MVPediatrics opened in the fall of 2001. Since then, we have moved twice to accommodate our growing practice. Currently we have six pediatricians, two nurse practitioners, and a robust team of on-site social workers.

Being flexible is the core value of our practice. We always want to be able to see sick children as quickly as possible and to schedule well visits in a convenient and timely manner. We try, as a matter of respect for our patients and their time, to see patients promptly.
