Pediatric Affiliates Expands Services with Addition of Experienced Pediatrician Dr. Miro Ukraincik

Pediatric Affiliates will welcome Dr. Miro Ukraincik, a pediatrician known for his compassionate care and strong community relationships, to its medical team in August. This addition represents a significant expansion for the practice, particularly at its new Jackson, New Jersey, facility. Dr. Ukraincik brings over twenty-five years of clinical experience and a patient-focused approach that aligns with Pediatric Affiliates' core mission of providing accessible, high-quality pediatric healthcare.

Dr. Ira Haimowitz expressed enthusiasm about Dr. Ukraincik joining the practice, noting his established reputation and the trust he has cultivated with families in the Lakewood community. Dr. Ukraincik's professional credentials include a medical degree from the University of Zagreb School of Medicine and completion of his pediatric residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, demonstrating comprehensive training and expertise in child health. The new Jackson office, situated at 27 S Cooks Bridge Rd, Suite 2-12, is part of Pediatric Affiliates' growing network across Ocean and Monmouth counties, which includes multiple locations designed to serve families throughout the region.

Dr. Robert Shanik emphasized the practice's ongoing commitment to recruiting physicians who excel not only in clinical skills but also in embodying values of compassion, accessibility, and long-term community engagement. Dr. Ukraincik's role at Pediatric Affiliates exemplifies this dedication, as his deep local ties and patient-centered philosophy are expected to strengthen the practice's ability to meet the healthcare needs of area families. This expansion comes at a time when access to consistent, trusted pediatric care is increasingly important for community health outcomes. The integration of an experienced practitioner like Dr. Ukraincik supports Pediatric Affiliates' broader goal of providing continuity of care and building lasting relationships with patients and their families, ensuring that children receive comprehensive medical support from infancy through adolescence.
