Dorin Kemmerle, MD

Board Certified Pediatrician, Mom

I have practiced pediatrics in Salem, Oregon since 2000. I moved to the Pacific Northwest to join Childhood Health Associates of Salem after completing my residency training at Phoenix Children's Hospital in Arizona. 

It was a privilege to work with the providers and staff at Childhood Health and take care of hundreds of amazing and diverse families for many years. 

In 2016 I started Sprout Pediatrics to better fit my practice style, pace and goals, and refocus on the joy and connection of practicing pediatrics. 

My most important title is Mom, as my patients will all understand.

I am a mom, gardener, cook, pet snuggler, science geek, nature enthusiast, art appreciator, music lover and over-committed improver of things. I live with my wonderful husband and amazing son, a funny little orange cat and a matching big sweet orange dog. Its a very hard decision, but I think blueberries are my favorite food.

Office Manager, Organizer and Glue, Multi-talented Quick Study and Emergency Medical Assistant Backup.

I am privileged to have Lilay (“Lily”) on the Sprout team. She got so good at helping run Sprout behind the scenes that I asked her to do more as we grew. You’ll still hear from her and occasionally see her smiling face in the office. She is literally the nicest person you ever met. Her patience and persistence help keep Sprout running.

When she’s not giving Sprout families personal attention she spends time with her large, close family. She is particularly devoted to her small nephews, and appreciates good food and Oregon’s beauty.
