Nancy Gideon, MD, FAAP

I grew up in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.  I completed my undergraduate degree in biology at University of Maryland College Park.  I then attended Hahnemann University School of Medicine in Philadelphia.  Throughout high school, college and medical school I enjoyed teaching young children a variety of subjects.  So very early on I realized that I enjoyed pediatrics the most.  I did my pediatric residency training at the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters (affiliated with Eastern Virginia Medical School) in Norfolk, Virginia.  One of the greatest things about my training was that even though it was a small program the hospital was the pediatric tertiary care center for the area of more than 2 million people.  The small program allowed us as residents to be much more hands on with our care of patients.  After residency, I moved to this area to practice general pediatrics and have been here for 10 years now.  I have enjoyed working in this area, getting to know my patients and their families and raising my 3 young children.  I believe each child should be treated individually and not all things work for every child.  It is important to have the parents involved in all aspects of their child’s life including their medical care.  I enjoy caring for newborns through adolescence.  My interests are broad including general wellness and prevention to complex illnesses.  I am on staff at Beebe Hospital caring for newborns and sick children.
