A little bit about Dr. Bradford
What Counts
For Dr. Bradford and Pediatrics by the Sea, the mission of a pediatrician is ensuring the safety, health and well-being of the next generation of children. We strongly believe that a pediatrician must teach, share core values with families, support children and families in their most vulnerable times and encompass care for the entire family. We stress the need to resist the negatives of the media, the influence of popular culture, and the tendency to blindly believe in any popular trends of child-raising.
