Ephat Russcol, MD, FAAP
Developmental pediatrician
(she/her)
“I always knew I wanted to work with children. In medical school, I loved general pediatrics, adolescent medicine, and psychiatry. I ended up going into general pediatrics. As a general pediatrician, I saw the great need for better behavioral and developmental care. General pediatric visits are short and did not allow me the time to fully help my families. Now, I can really focus and help children and families thrive!”

What is an developmental pediatrician?
Our developmental pediatricians are independently licensed medical doctors (they have completed four years of medical school, 3-4 years of residency, and often 1-3 years of sub-specialty training). They are qualified to do diagnostic evaluations and provide medication management. Developmental pediatricians do not hold ongoing therapy sessions, but they often incorporate brief psychotherapeutic skills into their care and are able to directly refer families who need that service to a Brightline therapist or psychologist.
