Since 1982, Chesapeake Pediatrics has been committed to being advocates for the healthcare and wellbeing of young people from birth through young adulthood. Preventive medicine and health screening are a major focus of our practice along with giving advice and providing solutions to the challenges that parents face in raising a child in our world’s changing environment.
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.
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.
We are proud and privileged to take care of children on the Delmarva Peninsula and be stewards of your children’s health.
