Dr. Dovichi is a board certified pediatrician and a fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition, she is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester Medical Center. She enjoys teaching University of Rochester medical students and precepting pediatric residents.

One of Dr. Dovichi’s cherished professional moments was receiving the Outstanding Teaching Award during her chief resident year. Dr. Dovichi believes in the importance of communication and education in her practice. Dr. Dovichi has been honored with the Patient’s Choice Award and Compassionate Doctor Award. She is associated with Strong Memorial Hospital, Highland Hospital, and Rochester General Hospital. Dr. Dovichi strongly believes in the importance of both mental and physical health.

What Are Her Patients Saying?

We LOVE Dr. Dovichi! She is great with our son - always excited to see him, makes the exam fun, and is very thorough listening to our concerns and making sure we come up with the best path forward.

Kristi Mitchell Parent of Patient

I love everything about this place. I have never had a problem with anything. Front desk is always on top of appointments, the environment is so welcoming. But Dr Dovichi? This woman is nothing short of an amazing doctor. She has a calming presence, she’s to the point but also will listen to what you have to say. She makes sure that she is thorough and covers every possibility when your little one is sick instead of just throwing antibiotics at you and hoping it gets better or masks symptoms. I would trust her with anything. Thank you Dr Dovichi, for always giving me and my little one a peace of mind whenever we come see you. You are truly the best. You’re great at what you do!!!

Lexy H Parent of Patient

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Dovichi, I often think of her as sunshine in human form. She is supreme, and we switched pediatricians (having to drive 25 miles farther) because of how much we adore her. We have 7 kids (4 boys, 3 girls) and every one of them love her. She comes into the room and really cares about her patient and families. There are never long waits, we are always able to get in for acute visits and her office staff, nurses and partners (we love them all!) are welcoming, professional, kind, and her rooms are SO fun! Every room is a mural and enchanting, you will be hard pressed to find anyone or place better suited to keep your kids happy and healthy.

Andraya Villard Parent of Patient

Dr Dovichi has been my children's doctor for 5 years now. She is patient and kind as well as being knowledgeable and thorough. We've seen 3-4 other doctors in the practice as well and have always been very happy with our experiences. Would highly recommend this practice.

Carrie Falzone Parent of Patient

Dr Dovichi is truly the most genuine and sweet doctor I have ever met. She cares with her whole heart for every single patient she has, and is very open to listening to what you have to say/thoughts.
