A Letter from Dr Starr

To my patients and families:
Unfortunately, we will be closing the doors of Streeterville Pediatrics at the end of March 2026. It feels just like yesterday that I joined Drs. Barrows and Brown straight from residency. Being a partner of this practice gave me invaluable experience and wonderful memories. I am grateful for so many things. I have pride and gratitude for being able to practice medicine at Streeterville Pediatrics for nearly 25 years according to the ideals I have held ever since I first wanted to become a doctor.
No words can fully express how much I loved working alongside the dedicated and loyal staff that have become my second family. No words can express how much I loved taking care of our patients. I feel so honored to be a part of so many families raising newborns to adulthood!
I will always cherish my time with Streeterville Pediatrics, but I am pleased to announce that I will be joining the team at Weissbluth Pediatrics at their Northwestern location, just a few blocks north of Streeterville Pediatrics. This will allow me to stay on staff at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Lurie Children’s Hospital, and more importantly continue to be your pediatrician for those who would like to follow me to my new practice.
Weissbluth Pediatrics is located at 737 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 820 (between Superior and Chicago on Michigan Avenue). Please call 312-202-0300 to register as a patient. I will be available for appointments starting in April. More information is available at www.weissbluthpediatrics.com.
