Zest Pediatrics of South Hills

Dr. Marisa Quattrone is a board-certified pediatrician and fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She was born and raised in the South Hills of Pittsburgh before moving to Cleveland to obtain an undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. After working as an engineer for several years, she realized she was spending too much time with machines and not enough time with people. She received her MD from Case Western School of Medicine, followed by a residency in Pediatrics that brought her back home to the highly ranked Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. After three years of intense, diverse training, she was the recipient of the Primary Care Award. She was also recognized as one of the 2023 Best Doctors in Pennsylvania.

Though she has absolutely loved practicing as a general pediatrician for over a decade, something was always missing. It is truly an honor to be a part of a child’s growth and development; to watch them grow into unique beings with their own interests and, at times, challenges. However, the traditional way of practicing Pediatrics does not allow for the time or continuity that is necessary to really build the relationships needed to make sure each child’s health needs are being met. She feels confident that teaming up with Zest to provide a direct primary care model to families in the South Hills of Pittsburgh will allow her to develop those relationships, the thing that was always missing.

Dr. Quattrone is the mother to a very sweet little girl. They enjoy all outdoor activities, tending to their gardens, and going to see the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Quattrone recently took on a new role having a blast as coach of her little girl’s tee-ball team!
