About Doctor Jarret

Jarret “Doctor Jarret” Patton MD has served thousands of children in eastern Pennsylvania for over 15 years.

Additionally, he has advised many regional and national committees for organizations including The Joint Commission, American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Hospital Association.

He has published in the medical literature and contributed to books primarily in the areas of general pediatrics, cultural competency and health equity. His two solo books “Licensed to Live” and “Whose Bad @$$ Kids Are Those?” add further credibility to his expertise as a career coach and a pediatrician.
