Dr. Mara Paradis considers it a privilege to take care of children from birth through adolescence, helping families through acute illnesses, chronic illnesses and the behavioral challenges they face throughout the years. She enjoys teaming with parents on all aspects of their child's health, growth and development. "I want families to be very actively involved in the decision-making process in regard to care for their children," said Dr. Paradis. "At Boys Town Pediatrics, we care about children and their entire families. We want our families to be thriving, happy and healthy.

Dr. Debra Whaley loves working with children and their families and that made pediatrics the perfect choice for her. She feels that parents play a big role in their child's care and well-being, so she feels strongly about making sure parents are a part of their child's care and treatment plans. "I enjoy working with parents to help them relate with the child and understand the child's behaviors," said Dr. Whaley, "but my favorite part of my job is making kids smile."
