Hadassa E. Leader, MD


With over a decade in pediatrics, Dr. Leader is focused on the comprehensive care of children that require hospitalization for a broad range of childhood illnesses. Her approach aims to optimize the quality of care with evidenced based medical practice while providing compassionate, humanistic support to the child as a whole and to the parents and family. While she is board-certified to care for all pediatric inpatient needs, her clinical interests lie in acute and chronic illnesses that require hospitalization in the pediatric population, such as the care of children with bronchiolitis, asthma, UTI and skin and soft tissue infection. She is also experienced in perioperative care for children, undergoing surgery including appendectomy, cholecystectomy, cleft lip and palate repair and scoliosis repair (spinal fusion).
Philosophy of Care
I love to be a source of trust and reassurance for parents by helping them to really understand the illness we are treating together, its cause, its natural history, and why the treatment plan is ideal. I encourage parents to share their thoughts, questions and concerns, and ensure all areas are addressed in our ongoing conversations about care. No matter the challenges we face during a hospitalization, parents/guardians and families should have the support they need and the confidence that their child is in the best possible hands.
