About Ashley Saleem, DO

Philosophy of Care

My greatest motivation is helping children grow up safe, healthy, and happy. I believe that the best care happens when we work together—so I practice a shared decision-making approach, always guided by the most up-to-date, evidence-based medicine. I will take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your child’s unique needs, and offer specific, thoughtful advice to support their development and well-being. Whether we’re celebrating milestones, navigating an illness, or talking through behavioral changes, my goal is to be a trusted partner in your child’s care. I’ll offer clear guidance, medical expertise, and reassurance, while respecting your values and perspective as a guardian. I look forward to building a long-lasting, supportive relationship with you and your family.

Personal Interests
Outside of medicine, I love exploring the world through travel—whether it’s trying new foods, learning about different cultures, or getting lost in a new city. Spending quality time with my family, friends, and my dog is one of my favorite ways to relax and recharge. I also enjoy cooking at home and discovering new, easy, recipes. Getting to know people from all walks of life, both in and outside of medicine, brings me a lot of joy and keeps me grounded and curious.

Clinical Interests
I have a deep interest in caring for children of all ages and abilities, from the very first days of life through adolescence. I round in the newborn nursery and truly enjoy those early newborn visits—supporting families as they adjust to a new chapter. I closely monitor developmental milestones and work to identify any delays early, so that children with developmental differences can receive timely support and thrive alongside their peers. I’m also passionate about mental health and feel strongly about creating a safe space where kids and teens can express themselves. I help families navigate concerns like anxiety, depression, and behavioral changes by offering coping strategies, resources, and appropriate treatment plans. As children grow into adolescence and begin to seek more independence, I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with them and helping them understand and care for their own health. I’m comfortable managing chronic conditions like asthma, ADHD, and obesity, and I find great reward in creating tailored, realistic care plans that fit each child’s needs. I also have a special interest in acute care—I enjoy being available for urgent visits and helping families avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency room whenever possible. Whether it’s a well check or a sick visit, I’m here to support your family with thoughtful, thorough care.
