I grew up in California in a big family, then attended UC Berkeley for college and UC Davis for medical school. While living in Sacramento, I was fortunate to meet my husband, and the two of us moved to Seattle, where I completed a pediatrics residency at the University of Washington and trained at Seattle Children's Hospital. We have two young children and spend as much time with them as possible while enjoying the outdoors and exploring the wonderful Salem and Silverton communities in which we now live.
About my practice
I enjoy taking care of children of all ages and backgrounds, including those with chronic illnesses who may be more medically complex and require specialty care, and those who were in the NICU as infants. I believe in the importance of taking time to listen to parents' and caregivers' concerns. Having grown up with three adopted siblings, I also have an interest in foster care and adoption. I speak a little bit of Spanish, which I try to use when meeting with families--with the help of an interpreter whenever possible!
How I thrive
I enjoy hiking, biking, and going for walks with my husband and children in the beautiful Oregon outdoors. I also enjoy reading, and cooking and eating good food.
Dr. Germann is by far the most caring, understanding pediatrician I have ever had the honor on meeting. She taken time to get to know me and my children. She is fully vested in the well being of children and families as a whole!

She answered ALL of my questions. She didn't make me feel like I had any stupid questions, and she spoke in a way that I fully understood. I felt great about the care my son received. He was CARED for. Thank you, Dr. Germann, for giving your full attention to my son. She spent about an hour with us at this visit, but we as parents follow up on that visit's care advice for weeks, so it feels great so see a provider that understands the importance of our visit.

I love that *Dr. Germann views our family as a unit. When we are in for an exam with one child, she always demonstrates a knowledge of our other child's history as well and asks about them. She really cares for her patients and does a great job with our kids.

I especially love the detail descriptions she types up and prints for me to take home - I can't ever remember everything that is said, and this way I don't worry I missed something key.
