In 2002, Dr. Kovacs joined the practice followed by Dr. Mohan in 2013 and Dr. Merritt in 2014. Dr. Jegathesan joined our practice in 2017 and we opened a new office location in Berlin, MD to accommodate the growing needs of our community. Lisa Tayman, CRNP, joined us as a full time provider in 2020 and Logan Nalesnik, CRNP, joined the team in 2024.

Dr. James Peipon founded what is now Chesapeake Pediatrics in 1982. Initially on Maryland Avenue in Salisbury, it was relocated to Milford Street in 1981. Dr. Taylor joined the practice in 1992 and in 2001, Dr. Peipon retired from private practice to pursue medical mission work in the Ukraine.

 Our office sees patients by appointment only. If you find that you cannot keep your child’s appointment, we ask that you call us at least 2 hours before the scheduled appointment to cancel. This will allow us to schedule other patients who need appointments.

    • If you are a new patient and you miss two appointments in a row without calling, we will ask you to find a new pediatrician.

    • If you miss three appointments in a 12 month period, this will be grounds for dismissal from our practice.
