Biography

Pediatrician Megan Chitlur, MD, provides comprehensive primary care services for newborns, children and adolescents, focusing on preventive medicine with expertise in newborn care and mental health. Dr. Chitlur is dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential, whether that is through early referral for developmental evaluation, prevention of illness through vaccination and screenings, or providing advice so they can feel better faster and get back to school and play.

 

Partnering with families, Dr. Chitlur tailors her approach to fit each parent and child. She listens to what a child has to say in addition to the history the parents provide to develop an individual health and wellness plan.


Dr. Chitlur loves serving the community and volunteers at summer camps for children with special needs, including autism, type 1 diabetes and muscular dystrophy.


When not seeing patients or volunteering, Dr. Chitlur enjoys the outdoors, hiking and visiting national parks. Indoor pursuits include crocheting stuffed animals and exploring restaurants and dessert cafes.
