USA Health Pediatrics expands with the addition of Nicole Weidow, D.O.

To better meet the healthcare needs of children in our community, pediatrician Nicole Weidow, D.O., recently joined USA Health Pediatrics.

Growing up, watching her father’s dedication to helping others as a physician initially inspired Weidow to pursue a career in medicine. As she progressed through school, classes including anatomy, physiology, and chemistry were her favorites.

“I’m passionate about being a pediatrician because it gives me the opportunity to support children during their most formative years and make a lasting impact on their health and well-being,” Weidow said. “My journey into this field began when I was both a babysitter and a children’s hospital volunteer when I was a teenager and discovered the joy of working with children.”

She said those experiences inspired her to build a career centered around helping infants and children thrive. “At the same time,” she said, “I also find great fulfillment in guiding new mothers — offering advice, support, and encouragement as they navigate the rewarding, yet sometimes challenging, journey of parenthood.”

She holds a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine in Dothan. In 2021, she completed a one-year residency in internal medicine at Infirmary Health, followed by a three-year residency in pediatrics at USA Health Children’s & Women’s Hospital.

Weidow is an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama, where she will help educate future generations of healthcare providers. “I chose to work in academic medicine because I love teaching and guiding medical students and residents,” she said.

She is accepting new patients at the Strada Patient Care Center in Mobile. For an appointment, call 251-410-5137.
