Dana Leventhal, DO, FAAP
Dr. Dana Leventhal was raised in Doylestown, PA, a suburb about an hour north of Philadelphia. For as long as she remembers, she has wanted to be a doctor and enjoyed wearing her dad's white dress shirt as a lab coat and her baby dolls always wore hospital bracelets! She chose pediatrics after working at a summer day camp through high school and babysitting the neighborhood kids. After moving to the south for the warm weather, she attended college at Clemson University before receiving her medical degree from Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her residency at East Carolina University before joining a pediatric practice in Goldsboro, NC. She joined Oberlin Pediatrics in October 2023.
Dr. Leventhal loves having a small part in watching children grow and guiding and empowering families to create a happy and healthy environment for their children. She enjoys seeing children of all ages and in particular dealing with anticipatory guidance and child safety. Her goal is to make every family feel comfortable coming to her for any questions they have and easing a parent's worries with her calm and reassuring demeanor.
Dr. Leventhal enjoys keeping up with her family and friends all over the country. She enjoys baking sweets, trying new recipes, and watching sports.
Fun Facts About Me
