Dr. Erika Fernandez is a board-certified pediatrician and Miami native dedicated to providing thoughtful, comprehensive, and individualized care to children and their families. She believes in building lasting relationships with families and creating an environment where both parents and children feel heard, supported, and comfortable throughout every stage of childhood.
Dr. Fernandez earned her Doctor of Medicine from Ross University School of Medicine after completing her undergraduate studies at Florida State University, where she received a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Biology and English and a minor in Chemistry. She completed her pediatric residency training at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, part of Memorial Healthcare System, where she also served as Chief Resident. She is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and speaks English and conversational Spanish.
In addition to general pediatrics, Dr. Fernandez has a special interest in preventive and integrative medicine, nutrition, gut health, and the pediatric microbiome. She enjoys partnering with families to look beyond individual symptoms and support the foundations of a child’s long-term health and wellness, while maintaining an evidence-based and practical approach to pediatric care.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Fernandez enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes, staying active through fitness, and spending time with family and friends. Pediatrics also happens to run in the family—her identical twin sister is a pediatric nurse practitioner, and together they share a passion for helping families raise healthy, thriving children.
