Sandy Stephens, MD
Dr. Sandy Stephens joined Wilmington Pediatrics in its infancy, in 1992. Originally from New York, she attended several art schools before landing at Skidmore College. There she discovered her passion for science and, through a work study program with developmentally delayed children, her love of children. After a brief foray in Massachusetts as a nanny for a chocolate consultant, she attended Albert Einstein College of Medicine. From the start, she was pulled towards pediatrics and continued to be inspired by the vast potential and resiliency of children and families. She decided to return to Boston and did her residency at Boston City Hospital (now Boston Medical Center), which prepared her for the multi-faceted challenges of pediatric health care. It was also where she met Drs. Sarah Andrew and Carolyn Sedor. Following the birth of her first child, she joined them at Wilmington Pediatrics and has enjoyed being a part of such a vibrant practice.
As a general pediatrician, Dr Stephens adores babies just as much as she loves guiding teenagers through adolescence. She is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society. Currently, she serves as the Medical Director of Wilmington Pediatrics.
Dr. Stephens is a dedicated mom, wife and pet owner who is rarely without her Kindle, yet finds a myriad of way to nurture her artsy side.
To my patient and families,
I’m writing to let you know of my upcoming plans. After nearly 28 years, I’ll be leaving Wilmington Pediatrics in September 2024.
This has been a very difficult decision for me. It has been a privilege to be a part of your lives for all these years. Seeing you and your families grow has enriched my life enormously and I will miss it.
I do wish you all the best in the future and I know that you will be well taken care of by my partners at Wilmington Pediatrics.
Since I’m not leaving for several months, I’ll look forward to seeing many of you before then.
