Dr. Michelle Verdi DO

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
