About Dr. Barbara Christakis

Before booking, please consult Bluebird Kids approach to vaccines below. Dr. Barbara Christakis is a board-certified pediatrician with Bluebird Kids Health. IN HER OWN WORDS I was born and raised in South Florida and am so excited to return to serve the community that raised me. As a pediatrician I find joy in watching children grow and helping guide them and their parents through all stages of life. My specific areas of interest include early childhood development, immigrant health, mental health, and LGBTQ+ health. Outside of work I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, and attending concerts. My wish for you is… That you always feel seen and heard while working with me to prioritize your child's health. VACCINATIONS@BLUEBIRD KIDS As pediatric clinicians—and parents ourselves—we believe in preventive medicine and that vaccinations are safe, effective, and vital to prevent serious illness, suffering, and even death. We recommend patients follow the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccination schedule, as our own children do. We will work with families who wish to learn more about vaccines if they meet our minimum vaccination requirements (school schedule). If parents choose not to vaccinate at all, we respectfully recommend seeking care with a pediatrician more aligned with their beliefs.
