Their story
Andrew Adesman, MD, known as Andy, is the youngest of the three sons of Jerome Adesman, MD, and Alice Katzka Adesman. He is married to Angela Romano-Adesman, MD; their children are Marisa Adesman, Danielle Adesman, PA-C, and Jason Adesman. His public work centers on developmental and behavioral pediatrics; a 2018 institutional release identifies him as then chief of that division at Cohen Children's Medical Center. [F2] [F3] [F5] [S15]
With Christine Adamec, he wrote The Grandfamily Guidebook, published in 2018 for grandparents raising grandchildren. Its research foundation included a study of more than 700 grandparents. The American Academy of Pediatrics also credits him with developing the ADHD Medication Guide, a visual resource for clinicians. [S14] [S15] [S16]
