Meet the Doctor

I'm Dr. Althauser, a pediatrician with over 14 years of experience caring for patients from birth through young adulthood. My focus is on personalized, unrushed, and nonjudgmental care that helps families feel supported and confident in their health decisions.
 

I blend holistic and conventional medicine to address both the immediate concern and the bigger picture: nutrition, environment, sleep, stress, and lifestyle. Whether it’s a newborn visit, a check-up for a busy teen, or guidance on wellness and prevention, I take the time to listen and create a plan that fits each child and family.

Care is flexible and designed around your needs, with options for virtual consultations, in-office visits, and house calls when appropriate. By keeping my practice intentionally small, I’m able to offer truly individualized care and build lasting connections with the families I serve.

Before founding Priority Pediatrics of the Palm Beaches, I spent nine years at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and have continued to deepen my approach to integrative, relationship-based pediatrics ever since. My goal is to bring a calm, personal experience back to medicine: one that values both evidence and intuition.

Outside of pediatrics, I love traveling, spending time with loved ones, and caring for my rescue dog, Sadie. Completing yoga teacher training strengthened my appreciation for the mind-body connection, something I naturally integrate into my approach to children’s health and family wellness.
