Dr. Heather Acevedo is excited to join Wake Forest Pediatrics and meet your precious families. She has lived up and down the east coast but has settled into the Raleigh area for the last 10 years. She has experience working in private practice in the Raleigh area for the last six years.
Dr. Acevedo is Board Certified by The American Board of Pediatrics. She attended the University of South Carolina where she graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. She earned her Doctorate of Medicine at St. George’s University School of Medicine. She successfully completed her Pediatric Residency training in 2013 at East Carolina University.
During her years of medical training she had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of locations including New York City, Miami, rural North Carolina and several months of electives in Puerto Rico. It was an exciting opportunity to gain experience with diverse patient populations and needs. Dr. Acevedo is fluent in Spanish and loves taking care of her Hispanic patients!
Dr. Acevedo loves her patients of all ages and backgrounds but also has a special interest in newborn care and breastfeeding, obesity medicine, as well as childhood development and education.
In her spare time she enjoys traveling, hiking, four wheeling, and playing the piano and guitar. She is also a homeschool teacher for her children and enjoys seeking out all of the learning opportunities that the Raleigh area offers.
The best way to explain her style as a physician is to share one of her favorite patient comments;
“ Dr. Acevedo is thorough, patient and kind.”
