New Bayhealth Pediatrics Practice Now Open  

Dr. Taqdees Afreen

As the region’s healthcare leader, Bayhealth is expanding access to high-quality healthcare for families in central and southern Delaware. Bayhealth Pediatrics, the organization’s first employed pediatrics practice, opened on February 8 and is accepting new patients. Bayhealth Pediatrics comprises three board-certified pediatricians— Taqdees Afreen, MD; Colleen Allorto, DO; and Adaobi Enekwizu, MD. Located in Milford, the practice is providing expanded options for community families seeking pediatric care. This new practice is part of Bayhealth Medical Group, a partnership of highly trained physicians, their clinical staff, and an administrative support team that operates practices throughout central and southern Delaware.

The pediatricians in the Bayhealth Pediatrics practice have extensive expertise and are dedicated to caring for patients of all ages.

She also sees families for outpatient office visits.

Dr. Allorto has more than 20 years’ experience in pediatric and adolescent medicine through various practices in central and southern Delaware. She has a special interest in mental health for this patient population, helping children and teens and their families successfully navigate common conditions such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression.
