When your child is sick, who’s really there?
At 11pm, when the fever spikes, most parents discover the difference between a pediatric office and a pediatrician who truly knows their child.
Most parents don’t realize what’s missing — until they need help most.
In traditional pediatric practices, after hours usually means:
• A nurse triage line
• An on-call doctor who doesn’t know your child
• Waiting, worrying, or guessing what to do next
That may be common. But it doesn’t have to be normal.
Zest was built for families who want direct access, real relationships, and calm guidance when it actually matters.
Meet Dr. Kristina Javier!
Your Pediatrician in Lake Nona
Dr. Javier is a board-certified pediatrician with nearly 15 years of experience with Orlando families. She earned her medical degree at SUNY Downstate and completed her pediatric residency at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, here in Orlando. She is fluent in Spanish.
At Zest, Dr. Kristina cares for a small panel of patients, which means:
She knows your child
She knows your family
And when you reach out, you’re reaching her, directly
This is medicine the way it was meant to feel. Dr. Javier has only 20 founding family spots remaining in Lake Nona — and they are filling.
A complimentary introductory visit.
When we moved to Orlando in 2016 we were nervous about finding the right pediatrician. From day one, Dr. Javier made us feel supported, heard, and understood. She is always there when we need her—even with late night emergencies!
—Chrysty, mom of one.

What to expect from your free intro call:
A free intro call is a relaxed phone or video chat where you:

It’s designed to be straightforward and informative.
