About Jershonda Hartsfield, MD
I am currently only accepting newborn patients. I decided to become a pediatrician out of a genuine love and respect for the creativity and naivety of young children. I aspire to assist parents in raising healthy, confident children. I strive to provide the same care to my patients that I expect and demand for myself and my family. It is with patience and respect that I learn about my patients, their family and concerns. By involving the family in medical decisions, I strive to help them understand and become active participants in their health and in making healthy lifestyle choices. As an active mother, I enjoy exercise and cooking healthy meals for my family. In my spare time, you will find me volunteering as a way to serve those in my local community.

Dr. Hartsfield is one of most caring and knowledgeable doctors. She takes the time to listen (even on a Friday that's almost ending) and explain everything to our family. We never feel dismissed by her and almost feel biased that we won't be able to trust any other pediatrician. We love Dr. Hartsfield.
