What is a Pediatric Lipidologist?
A pediatrician is a physician whose specific specialty is caring for children from birth to 18 years of age. A lipidologist is a physician whose specialty is cholesterol (also known as lipids). Dr. Ann Liebeskind is a lipidologist who is trained and board-certified in both pediatric and adult lipidology and therefore loves caring for families with lipids problems, including those families with lipid problems that lead to higher risk of heart disease. Our goal is to help ensure that children grow into mentally and physical healthy, productive and happy adults.
