Hayley Hellstern, DO
Dr. Hayley Hellstern is a board-certified pediatrician and fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics at Zest Pediatrics of Fox Chapel in Allison Park. Raised in Annapolis, Maryland, she studied neuroscience at Johns Hopkins before medical school at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Colorado. She returned to Pittsburgh for her pediatric residency at UPMC Children's Hospital, where she was chosen for the Pediatric Advocacy, Leadership, and Service track.
After years in a busy insurance-based practice, she wanted more time with each family and to be reachable after hours, so she built the kind of practice she had dreamed of since childhood, one where the doctor feels like part of the family. Newborn care and breastfeeding medicine hold a special place for her, and she serves as an Early Career Representative for the Pennsylvania Chapter of the AAP and a member of the Pennsylvania Breastfeeding Coalition.
Mother to two energetic, adventurous kids, she spends free time on neighborhood walks, hockey nights, and trips to Pittsburgh's playgrounds.
