Samantha Talerico, M.D. Board Certified Pediatrician At Our Roseville Location Schedule Now Hi, I’m Dr. Talerico! Teaching kids about their health is my passion. I love being a pediatrician and experiencing the joy of caring for newborns through young adults, and I value evidence-based medicine and shared decision making. I strive to create a friendly and safe space for patients and families to ask questions. It is an honor to watch patients grow and build long-lasting relationships with them and their families. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities (swimming and hiking are my favorites), and spending time with my family and friends. Undergraduate: University of Minnesota Medical School: University of Wisconsin Residency: University of Minnesota Awards, Associations, and Memberships Board Certified by the American Board of Pediatrics Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) A Few of my Favorite Things: Ensuring patients feel comfortable and safe during their visit. Educating families about their child's growth and development. Creating a welcome space for questions and concerns. Instilling confidence in adolescents to advocate for their needs. "Getting a kid to smile or laugh is one of the most rewarding parts of pediatrics." —Dr. Talerico
