Our Doctors

One of the things families love most about Dr. Rebecca Cholst is her ability to connect with patients of all ages. Her love for pediatrics shines through in every visit.

"I love being part of a child’s life, watching them grow and develop over time. It is such a privilege to work with families. "

Dr. Cholst enjoys building long-term relationships with her patients and their families, and especially loves watching children grow and develop from infancy through adolescence. She has a special interest in supporting teenagers experiencing anxiety and depression, and finds deep meaning in helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Dr. Cholst completed both her medical degree and pediatric residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago, finishing her training in 2020. She brings a well-rounded, compassionate approach to her care, and believes that listening closely is just as important as diagnosing.
