About Dr. Quan, The founder
Michelle Quan, MD, FAAP, IBCLC, PMH-C
Dr. Michelle Quan is a native New Yorker who recently moved to central New Jersey for her growing family. She received her Doctorate of Medicine (MD) at Stony Brook University School of Medicine, and completed her residency in Pediatrics at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and fellowship in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. After completing her fellowship, Dr. Quan joined NYU School of Medicine as an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Division of Neonatology. As a young clinical investigator, her research resulted in 10 manuscript publications. Dr. Quan is double board-certified in General Pediatrics and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). She continues to work at both a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and an urgent care setting. Dr. Quan is also a certified lactation consultant and perinatal mental health provider.
Dr. Quan has envisioned healthcare to encompass excellent bedside care and sufficient patient-physician time allocation. But, the grim reality is that a large amount of time and resources are allocated to documentation and administrative tasks encroaching on time spent with the patient resulting in low patient and physician satisfaction. Dr. Quan decided to forge her own path by defying the current practice constraints and refocusing on the patient-physician relationship. Hence, the idea of devoting the majority of the patient-physician time to empowering, supporting and fostering the well being of growing families through Parents Baby Triad LLC was born.
