Nicole Abramowitz, MD
Board Certified Pediatrician
After college, Dr. Nicole moved to Manhattan and completed medical school and her pediatric residency at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Dr. Nicole lives in Westport with her husband, Jason, and their two boys, Zachary and Sam. You can see her throughout Westport cheering on her boys at their baseball and basketball games. She had her children early in her career, and she believes that raising her boys has made her a better physician.

Board Certified Pediatrician
Alicia Soto, M.D. is a native of Fairfield where she lives with her husband, two college-aged children and one very mean cat.

Dr. Soto enjoys growing her own vegetables and can never pass up a good farmer’s market. She is an aspiring writer and loves getting lost in the pages of a great book.
