Philosophy of Care I choose pediatrics because I truly enjoy working with children, and I appreciate that families are willing to make healthy changes for their children. I enjoy the spirit and creativity of children, and the sweet, open optimism that they possess. My goal as a pediatrician is to help guide children into a healthy, happy adulthood. My father is also a pediatrician and has always been a big role model for me. I seek to make a difference in peoples’ lives while having as much fun as he does every day.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and watching my garden grow.

We've had Dr. Althoen since our daughter came to us as a newborn foster daughter (and for several foster children before). She has been thoughtful, responsive and encouraging. Her support is one of the reasons we felt confident enough to be foster parents, and now to be adoptive parents, for which we are very grateful.

Dr. Althoen is not our regular provider but she still went above and beyond to provide a quality visit for my son. My son had a scheduled appointment with our regular pediatrician but found out upon our arrival to the office that his appointment had been cancelled because his provider was on vacation. Unfortunately, no one from the office had notified us that his appointment was cancelled and I had taken time off work to be there. As I explained the situation to the nurse, Dr. Althoen overheard the situation and offered to see my son right away. She took my son immediately into a room for his well visit. We are very grateful for Dr. Althoen's kindness and for providing excellent patient care that changed our experience into a positive one.
