Dr. Melinda Beavers MD, PhD

Dr. Melinda Beavers blends her love of science, teaching, and family to provide exceptional pediatric care. A graduate of the University of Georgia, she completed both her medical doctorate and doctorate of philosophy at the Medical College of Georgia (now Augusta University). Her PhD research focused on blood pressure in children with heart defects, working under the guidance of Dr. Greg Harshfield and Dr. Bill Lutin.

Initially drawn to geriatrics, Dr. Beavers discovered her passion for child development during medical school and has been captivated by the science of growth ever since. From the journey of a single cell transforming into a baby to the milestones of cognitive and physical development, she embraces every aspect of helping children thrive.

From Teaching to Pediatric Medicine

Before medical school, Dr. Beavers joined Teach For America, gaining valuable perspective while teaching in Warren County, NC. During this time, she met her husband, a dedicated high school teacher, and together they built a family while living in Augusta, GA, raising three children.

Today, Dr. Beavers is the founder of Bloom Pediatric Partners in Angier, NC. She brings a unique blend of expertise, compassion, and humor to her work with children and families. Outside the office, she enjoys music, exercise, and spending time with her family.

Fun Fact: Dr. Beavers' favorite role, apart from pediatrician, is being a mom—her real-life laboratory for everything she loves about child development.
