![Dr. Kristina Javier and patients]()
“Dr. Javier has been a true blessing for our family. We have 3 kids and she has helped us tremendously through the years with all of our concerns and questions. She listens carefully and takes her time to make sure she gives a correct diagnosis. I love that she always calls to follow up and check if there’s any changes or questions. My kids always feel comfortable with her and love to see her. As a mom, she has a special place in my heart since she always seems to have a calming effect on my nerves when I’m concerned about a health issue with any of the kids. She is very supportive and explains things in an easy way for us. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Javier! She is awesome and we love her as part of our family.”

“Dr. Javier has taken care of my children for the past 9 years. Upon meeting her, we instantly felt comfortable with her as a physician. As a first time mom she helped us navigate all the firsts and subsequently with our 2nd and 3rd. . She has listened to all of our concerns and has provided reassurance through every journey. Even through difficult moments she has provided a listening ear and has always made sure our kids were taken care of. Our kids were always excited to go and see Dr.Javier and there were rarely any tears when we had visits.”
JR, Mother of 3

"I have known Dr. Javier since she was a baby doctor in residency:) From the start, I loved her bedside manner and the way she listened to and cared for her patients. When I had children of my own, I looked for her and was so grateful that she practiced near my home. I have entrusted her with the care of both of my children. She helped us through the well checks, vaccines, and through the scary stuff where she showed even more compassion and caring by following up and reminding us that she was there to help us and truly care for my babies. I am so grateful for her years of dedication to her patients and families."

![Mother and child, patient of Dr. Javier]()
"When we moved to Central Florida in 2016, we were nervous about finding the right pediatrician. From day one, Dr. Javier made us feel supported, heard, and understood. She was always there when we needed her—even with little late night emergencies. She was the one who suggested having our son evaluated for allergies, something we might never have thought to do on our own. With that single recommendation, it helped us discover his dairy and egg allergies and finally get to the root of his constant nasal congestion issues he had over the years. Because of her, he is healthier, happier, and thriving. We are forever grateful and blessed to have such a caring provider who not only understands us, but hears us with all our concerns for our son’s health needs."

Kristina Javier, MD
Board-Certified Pediatrician | Advocate for Holistic Child Wellness
*** CURRETLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS ***
Meet Dr. Kristina Javier — a trusted pediatrician with nearly 15 years of experience caring for Orlando-area families.
Dr. Javier graduated summa cum laude from Marymount College (now Fordham University) before earning her medical degree from the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center. She completed her pediatric residency at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, where she developed a passion for style of personalized patient care.For Dr. Javier, pediatrics has always been a calling. She loves partnering with children, teens, and their families—guiding them through everything from newborn questions to adolescent challenges. She is known for her calm, empathetic presence, her ability to explain complex topics clearly, and her dedication to meeting families exactly where they are.
Dr. Javier is fluent in Spanish and enjoys caring for Orlando’s diverse community. Before joining Zest Pediatrics, she spent more than a decade practicing at Tree House Pediatrics and later served as a general pediatrician and clinical guide for Blueberry Pediatrics. She is experienced at helping families navigate the healthcare system and providing thoughtful support for issues like asthma, childhood obesity, adolescent health, and mental-emotional wellbeing.
She was drawn to Zest because it allows her to practice “the way pediatrics is meant to be”—personal, unrushed, relationship-based care without the barriers and time pressures of the insurance-driven system. At Zest Pediatrics of Southeast Orlando, families will always see Dr. Javier, communicate directly with her, and receive the time and attention every child deserves.
Outside the office, Dr. Javier loves volunteering with the local Girl Scouts’ troop, recreating traditional home-cooked recipes with a healthy twist, listening to Latin music, and spending time outdoors.
