Reina Perl
PEDIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER
CERTIFIED LACTATION CONSULTANT
Reina Perl, PNP, IBCLC (International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners) is a consummate professional with a “can-do” attitude, and brings a bevy of complementary experience to Our Kids’ MD. Reina comes to the practice from Mount Sinai Hospital, where she spent 10 years as a pediatric nurse and lactation specialist in the neonatal ICU. In her “spare time,” Reina became both a pediatric nurse practitioner with a master’s degree from NYU as well as an IBCLC-accredited lactation consultant.
Reina’s proudest accomplishments, however, are her three beautiful children and proud husband. When she’s not chasing down the school bus or supervising homework time, Reina loves traveling and eating coffee-flavored ice cream (though not in that order).
