Dr.
Fleischer is co-founder of Smith & Fleischer Pediatric
Group. He was born and raised in New York City, but moved
to Chillicothe
in 1955. Dr. Fleischer is a graduate of the University of Michigan
and received his medical degree from the Columbia University
School
of Medicine. Dr. Fleischer interned at The Ohio State University
and completed his residency in pediatrics at Children's Hospital
in Columbus, Ohio. It was while at OSU that Dr. Fleischer met
Dr. Lowell Smith, and the two of them decided to start a practice
together.
They selected Chillicothe, Ohio as their home because there
were no pediatricians in the community and no pediatrics
department
at the hospital.
Dr.
Ater was a native of Ross County. He graduated from Franfort
High School
(now Adena), Asbury College and the Tulane University School
of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. He interned at St.
Louis
City Hospital and began residency training in Internal Medicine/Pediatrics
and General Surgery at St. Louis City Hospital. Dr. Ater then
entered
the U.S. Air Force, where he practiced general medicine. During
his Air Force career, Dr. Ater came to realize how much he
enjoyed
working with children and helping them to feel better. While
still in the Air Force, Dr. Ater completed his residency in
pediatrics
at Fitzsimmons General Hospital in Denver, Colorado. From there,
he served as an Air Force pediatrician in both France and
England.
Dr.
Allen is a native of Waverly, Ohio, and was a patient of Drs.
Smith and Fleischer as a child. She graduated from Waverly High
School and Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio. She received
her medical degree from The Ohio State University College of
Medicine and completed a three-year residency in Pediatrics
at Children's
Hospital in Columbus. After completing her residency, Dr. Allen
said it only seemed natural to return to the pediatricians
who took care of her when she was a little girl.
Dr. Fortney has always liked children, and that was one of the
most important factors in his decision to become a pediatrician.
Born in Cincinnati and raised in Columbus, Dr. Fortney graduated
from The Ohio State University College of Medicine. He completed
residency training in Pediatrics at Children's Hospital in
Columbus.
It was during residency that Dr. Fortney met Dr. Allen and became
familiar with Smith & Fleischer Pediatric Group and Chillicothe.
Following residency, Dr. Fortney chose to join Smith & Fleischer
Pediatric Group. 
Dr.

India
where she later attended Gandhi Medical College. Dr. Jetty received

where she
completed her pediatric internship and residency at Medical College
of Ohio. At MCO, Dr. Jetty was presented with the Excellence
in
Pediatrics Award - an honor reserved for the graduating pediatric
resident who displayed outstanding knowledge, skill and attitude.
Dr.

Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, and trained in the very
same hopital where he was born. During his time at
the
Medical College, he met his future wife, Lois, also a pediatrician,
and was active in Student Council. Following graduation in
India, he spent over three years
in England,
receiving further training in surgery and orthopedics. From England,
Dr. Jetty moved to Toledo, Ohio, where he completed his internship
and residency in Pediatrics at the Medical College of
Ohio.
As
an only child, Dr. Jane-Wit always dreamed of being a pediatrician,
even before entering medical school. She found her neighbors and
school friends to be an important influence in her childhood.
Dr.
Radford was born in Chillicothe and reared in Piketon.
He, too, was a patient of Smith & Fleischer Pediatric Group
while growing up, and that experience instilled in him the desire
to be a pediatrician.

the
University of California-Davis. He earned his medical degree
