For the past 25 years Dr. Rekha Chadalawada has been serving the pediatric community in Sylacauga. She serves as President of the Sylacauga School Board and was recently awarded the Master Pediatrician Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics’s Alabama Chapter and Children’s Hospital. In 1999, Dr. Rekha joined Dr. Robert Gray of Sylacauga Pediatrics. Desiring to expand Alabama residents’ access to pediatric primary care, Dr. Rekha opened Summit Pediatrics of Chelsea in 2013 and has now opened a new location on Valleydale Road.
Sylacauga and Summit Pediatrics is composed of four pediatricians and four nurse practitioners who are passionate about and dedicated to the health of our pediatric community.
“What led me into this specialty is still what inspires me the most today, and that is the children I get to work with on a daily basis,” Dr. Rekha says. “To me, children are second only to God. They make me a better physician and a better person with their presence every day. I feel like I have the best job in the world — which most of the time doesn’t even feel like a job at all.”
Sylacauga Pediatrics and both Summit locations see children from birth to 21-years-old for sick and well visits. Locations accept same-day appointments and the new Valleydale location is accepting walk-ins.
Summit Pediatrics’s new location on Valleydale Road is conveniently located across from Jefferson State Community College and Spain Park High School with easy access from both U.S. 280 and Interstate 65. The new clinic aims to serve residents of both Shelby and Jefferson County and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
