Cathy DiVincenzo MD
Wilmette,IL
Summary
Recently retired after 24 years of practicing pediatrics and building a practice from a solo to a 11 provider group (7 physicians and 4 nurse practitioners)
I am an experienced, dedicated physician and enjoy both the science of Pediatric medicine, as well as the relationships and trust that I built with families and colleagues.
I have enjoyed my year off of clinical medicine, and have used this time to travel extensively. I do miss practicing pediatrics and am looking for a short term opportunity that allows me to use my pediatric skills, as well as enjoy the flexibility of retirement.
