About Us

This is an introduction to the staff of Right from the Start Pediatrics!  Please take a few moments to learn about our skilled practitioners and our friendly, nurturing staff.

At Right from the Start Pediatrics, we consider it both a great joy and responsibility to care for children.  We strive to be understanding and available to the families we are privileged to serve.  We are honored that you have chosen us as your child’s primary medical provider and are confident that you will be pleased with the quality of care and service that you receive at our Breese and Shiloh offices.

Our service to children begins with our outstanding office staff who works hard to manage and maintain a professional, caring and supportive environment for our patients in a timely manner.  Our doctor and nurse practitioners are lifelong learners.  Dr. Morra is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and is required to undergo continuous education and recertification to keep up on the latest advances in pediatrics.  Our nurse practitioners similarly undergo continuous education.  This ensures that we will always be adhering to the current standards of medical care for infants, children and adolescents.

We strive to treat each and every patient as we would want our own children to be treated.  Our doctors and staff look forward to building a relationship with you and your family.
