About ParentRounds

ParentRounds exists to help parents cut through the noise and get clear, trustworthy answers about their children’s health, safety, and well-being.

Founded and written by a veteran emergency physician and professor-level medical researcher with nearly 30 years of frontline experience, ParentRounds delivers evidence-based insights on the most common (and sometimes not-so-common) health and safety concerns facing kids today. Whether it’s decoding fevers, understanding the real risks of everyday injuries, or separating fact from fiction on childhood nutrition and treatments, you’ll find honest, practical information here.

This newsletter does not offer medical advice (see our Terms of Service and Medical Disclaimer), but it does help parents become better informed, more confident partners in their children’s care.

What makes ParentRounds different? We blend the rigor of academic medicine with the realities of everyday parenting. We’re not here to lecture; we’re here to guide—with compassion, a touch of humor, and a deep respect for how hard this job can be.

Join a growing community of parents and caregivers who value real information over hype, and thoughtful guidance over judgment. Subscribe to get new posts straight to your inbox and never miss a new article.
