Dr. Pelletier completed her residency program at CHKD in 2006 and practiced with General Booth Pediatrics for 10 years. In 2016 she moved to Richmond to be with her husband and two "bonus" sons. But while in private practice there, Dr. Pelletier learned just how much she missed and respected CHKD and its unique network of CHKD Health System specialists to whom she could refer her patients.

Dr. McGuire came to CHKD after a pediatric surgical fellowship at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, FL. Prior to that, she completed a surgical critical care fellowship at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Her general surgery residency was completed at the University of Massachusetts. As a pediatric surgeon, Dr. McGuire believes it is important to provide care to the whole family and to understand that even the most straightforward operation is still being done to someone's baby. She always strives to imagine how her parents would feel and to treat every family as she would want her family treated.

Dr. Bazil has been with General Booth Pediatrics since 2007. She trained at CHKD as an intern and a resident. She then went on to serve as chief resident. Dr. Bazil says she was fortunate to train under wonderful mentors in various specialties. She’s confident referring her patients to the specialists she knows and trusts. Her goal is to treat her patients with the same care she’d expect for her own children.
