John M. Thorp, MD

I believe in putting excellent clinical care into context. Every person brings their own story—their culture, history, trauma, and goals—to our offices, and I believe it is my job to help you choose most informed and appropriate decision for you. My interests include trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and healthcare disparities.

I really value the opportunity to get to know families over time, and I love that general pediatrics lends itself to longitudinal relationships. Working with children is endlessly enjoyable, and it’s a privilege to play a role in their health and well-being as they grow. I want to support families as they navigate through the different stages of their child’s development. I also strongly believe in the benefits of incorporating healthy habits early, including good nutritional choices, active play and exercise, and routine vaccines. My areas of special interest include newborn care and lactation, positive parenting strategies, preventive medicine, and adolescent health. Outside of work, I love being with my family, exploring new places, spending time in nature, doing yoga and baking.

I am excited to be a womens health care provider participating in care from adolescence through pregnancy and into the post-menopausal stages of life.
