Bio
Hello, I am Dr Valerie Hines, a board certified, caring pediatrician living in Chicago since I started my Pediatric Residency at the University of Illinois in 2005. I was born in Florida and have lived in Belgium and Argentina for many years. I now live in Chicago with my husband and 3 kids. I love being with my family, working with kids and travelling.
I work in a group/hospital based practice in Chicago, I am on staff at Ann & Robert H Luries Children’s Hospital and Presence St Joseph Hospital and also work with students form Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwesten University and Loyola University, I enjoy very much teaching in a clinical setting. I have served on many hospital committees, and am the Medical Director for our outpatient pediatric clinic.
