Pediatric Affiliates has added Dr. Rochelle Braun, a board-certified pediatrician with more than 35 years of experience, to its Jackson, New Jersey, location as of October 14. The move strengthens the practice's commitment to compassionate, personalized care for families throughout Ocean County, and appointments with Dr. Braun are now available to schedule.
Dr. Braun's extensive expertise in general pediatrics and nutrition counseling sets her apart. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Nutrition from Brooklyn College before completing her medical degree at Downstate Medical School in 1989. She finished her pediatric residency at Schneider Children's Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in 1992 and has been board certified in pediatrics since 1995. Her nutrition background complements her broad clinical experience, enabling her to offer guidance tailored to each child's individual health and developmental needs.
Beyond her clinical credentials, Dr. Braun is known for listening closely to children and parents and building meaningful relationships with the families she serves. She finds it especially rewarding to care for children throughout each stage of development, helping families make informed decisions that support their children's health and well-being.
"We are very excited to welcome Dr. Braun to Pediatric Affiliates," said Dr. Ira Haimowitz. "Her decades of experience, thoughtful approach to patient care, and dedication to building lasting relationships with families make her an excellent addition to our Jackson team." Dr. Robert Shanik echoed that sentiment, noting that the practice remains focused on welcoming physicians who share its commitment to compassionate, accessible, and family-centered pediatric care. "Dr. Braun brings tremendous experience and a genuine appreciation for the relationships between providers, children, and parents," he said.
Dr. Braun's community ties further enhance her ability to connect with patients. She grew up in Brooklyn's Borough Park community and has lived in Midwood for more than 20 years. She and her husband, Seymour, have seven married children and a growing family in Lakewood and Jerusalem. Her strong community connections and understanding of the families she serves will reinforce the trusted, relationship-centered care available at Pediatric Affiliates.
