Get to know Pediatrician and Neonatologist Dr. Shelley C. Springer, who serves patients in Casper, Wyoming.
New York City, New York Apr 1, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Springer is a caring and compassionate pediatrician and neonatologist who is dedicated to taking care of children from before birth to 18 years old (and sometimes later!). She started Casper Children's Center in Casper, Wyoming in 2014, and is passionate about giving children a chance at living a happy and healthy life.
"My husband and I came to Casper to bring compassionate, contemporary, accessible pediatric care to the region's newborns and children. As the state's first neonatologist, I can improve access and level of care for mothers with high-risk pregnancies, keeping that care local. We have broadened the scope of care not only for newborns but for children of all ages" expressed the doctor.
Graduating with her medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio in 1994, Dr. Springer completed her residency in pediatrics and her fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. She completed her Master's degree in Biometry and Epidemiology at the Medical University of South Carolina and her Doctor of Law degree at Newport University in 2012. She is now completing her Doctor of Naturopathy degree and follows an integrative medicine paradigm in her practice.
With a passion for her profession, she is board-certified in pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). The mission of the ABP is to advance child health by certifying pediatricians who meet standards of excellence and are committed to continuous learning and improvement.
A Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP), Dr. Springer works closely with them to develop Clinical Practice Guidelines and promote evidence-based medicine in pediatrics. She is a consulting epidemiologist for the AAP and founder of It's For the Children Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to supporting St. Christopher's Home for Neglected and Abused Children in St. Kitts, West Indies.
Holding medical licenses in 25+ states, she has worked in every hospital setting - from solo-practice country hospitals to major Level IV NICUs at cutting-edge academic institutions -- until forming Casper Children's Center in 2014. She also remains affiliated with Wyoming Medical Center in Casper and Memorial Hospital of Converse County, in Douglas, WY.
Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the age of 22. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.
Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that consists of the medical care of newborn infants, especially the ill, or premature newborns. It is a hospital-based specialty and is practiced in neonatal intensive care units. Neonatologists generally diagnose and treat newborns with conditions such as breathing disorders, infections, and birth defects, as well as coordinating care and medically managing newborns born prematurely, critically ill, or in need of surgery.
On a more personal note, Dr. Springer has three children, all delivered while she was a medical student. She has experienced first-hand the challenges of working mothers. She knows the importance of being able to reach your pediatrician when your child is ill and the struggles when family and career obligations collide. She is committed to embracing new knowledge and technology when it makes lives better while holding onto traditional values. A believer in the power of Mother Nature, she does not hesitate to intervene when necessary.
