Dr. Verdi is truly an exceptional pediatrician. She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to listen to every concern without ever making us feel rushed. She has such a warm and caring approach that makes my son feel comfortable and at ease during every visit. Dr. Verdi explains everything clearly and genuinely cares about both her patients and their families. We feel incredibly lucky to have her as our pediatrician and have complete trust in the care she provides. I highly recommend Dr. Verdi to anyone looking for a pediatrician who goes above and beyond. Thank you for always taking such amazing care of my son!

She talks to me like we are friends. We can joke about things. It’s nice to have a relationship with her.

Dr Verdi is the BEST! We have been seeing her since my youngest was a few days old. My children are now 5 and 2 and never have I regretted choosing her. She is patient, kind and extremely thorough.

Dr. Michelle Verdi, D.O., has been caring for children and families in Ocean County for more than two decades. A board-certified pediatrician and Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, she earned her medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine after completing her undergraduate studies in biology at Washington & Jefferson College. She went on to complete a combined rotating internship and pediatric residency at Cooper University Medical Center, where she developed a passion for comprehensive, family-centered care.
Since joining the practice in 2001, Dr. Verdi has built lasting relationships with generations of families, following her patients from infancy through young adulthood—and now caring for their children as well. Her clinical interests include ADHD and pediatric mental health, where she is especially committed to helping children thrive both academically and emotionally.
Originally from Canada, Dr. Verdi has called Ocean County home for more than 20 years, where she and her husband of 28 years, Fran, raised their two children, Anthony and Francesca. Outside the office, she enjoys traveling, spending time at the beach, and reading. Dr. Verdi believes deeply in supporting each child’s individuality, often reminding her patients and families: “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” — Dr. Seuss
