Dr. James Whitfield
Director of Pediatrics
Dr. Whitfield has spent his career making healthcare feel less scary for children and less stressful for parents. After leading the pediatric outpatient program at Children's National, he brought his expertise to SOLACE to create a pediatric experience that feels more like a warm visit with a trusted family friend than a clinical appointment. He is known for his ability to explain complex medical topics in clear, reassuring language that both parents and children can understand.

Patient Reviews
"Dr. Whitfield has been our daughter's pediatrician since she was three months old. What sets him apart is how he talks to her directly — even now that she is four, he kneels down to her eye level and explains everything. She actually looks forward to her doctor visits, which as parents we never thought possible."
