Cheryl de Silva, MD, FAAP

My areas of interest are chronic disease management, immigrant health and LGBTQAI+ focused care, including sexual health and hormone therapy in all genders and sexual orientations. I welcome all to my practice. I view medicine as both an art and a science - not every algorithm works perfectly for everyone. One of the joys of my practice comes from hearing individual stories and using them as a guide to help patients lead their healthiest and most complete lives.

Pediatrics is rewarding because I can make an impact by helping children reach their potential. Sometimes this is as simple as helping parents get their babies to sleep through the night. Other times it can be as complex as helping an adolescent overcome obesity and depression.

I chose Internal Medicine because it reflects the way I think and who I am. The questions and problems that patients bring to me and the chance to put them together and solve problems is very satisfying. I like to try and get patients in and hopefully educate them about their healthcare in advance of larger health issues.
