Pamela S. Griffiths, MD

For Pamela S. Griffiths, MD, one of the joys of practicing neonatology is being able to send newborns home after overcoming complicated medical conditions in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). "I enjoy playing a role in improving the outcomes of medically fragile infants with complex conditions," says Dr. Griffiths. "Caring for those who are the most vulnerable is especially rewarding. I enjoy seeing a critically ill infant overcome their condition and sharing in the family's happiness when their baby is able to go home with them."

After receiving her medical degree from West Virginia University (WVU), Dr. Griffiths completed a residency in general pediatrics and a fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine at WVU. She specializes in bronchopulmonary dysplasia care, neonatal cardiovascular conditions, and hemodynamics and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. An active researcher, Dr. Griffiths strives to find the best evidence-based approaches to care and values an interdisciplinary approach in treating complex medical disorders. "Phoenix Children's has a strong team of physicians that I am grateful to work with," she says. "The support of all necessary subspecialists gives me confidence that I can care for any patient at Phoenix Children's. I also feel that Phoenix Children's offers many opportunities for research and collaboration."

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Griffiths enjoys running and spending time with her husband and children.
