A pediatrician at Children’s Medical Practice of Bronxville in Tuckahoe, New York, Erin Kelleher met her Irish husband while she was studying medicine in Trinity College in Dublin.

The New York-born, second generation Irish American with roots in County Cork then returned to America and completed her studies at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Kelleher treats many Irish children at her pediatric practice, and her Irish heritage helps this.

“My experience with heritage, time spent in Dublin, and with my husband helps me to better relate to the people I serve,” says Kelleher. “I am very proud of my Irish heritage.”

Dr. Kelleher is married to Dubliner Dr. Eamonn O’Donnell, and they have two children, Michael and Katherine.
