  • Happy Retirement Dr. Leiba

    Dear Patient and Family,

    After 30 years of practicing Pediatrics, I have decided it’s time to pass the torch and retire. My last day with Pediatrics in Brevard will be September 08, 2023.  It has been my honor and privilege to have cared for your children and I thank you for trusting me with their medical care. I will miss all of you but am confident your children will continue to receive the highest level of care available at Pediatrics in Brevard.

    We have assembled a highly capable team of physicians and pediatric nurse practitioners at the Melbourne office and, on September 1, 2023, will welcome a new pediatrician, Haille Hardison, DO. Dr. Hardison comes to Pediatrics in Brevard from her General Pediatrics residency at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Please join me in welcoming her.

    Pediatrics in Brevard staff will be contacting patients with appointments scheduled after September 08, 2023. You may also contact the office at 321-724-5437 to reschedule.

    Thank you again for your continued trust and support. I have enjoyed being your pediatrician and wish you the very best of health.
     
    Sincerely,
    Robert E Leiba, M.D.
