Dr. Melinda Beavers MD, PhD

Founder of Bloom Pediatric Partners | Dedicated Pediatrician & Child Development Expert

Dr. Melinda Beavers blends her love of science, teaching, and family to provide exceptional pediatric care. A proud Georgia Dawg, she earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia before completing 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, under the guidance of Dr. Greg Harshfield and Dr. Bill Lutin.

Originally interested in 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 incredible journey of a single cell transforming into a healthy baby to the milestones of cognitive and physical development, she embraces every aspect of helping children grow into thriving adults. Just don’t get her started unless you’re ready for a passionate (and nerdy!) deep dive!

Before medical school, Dr. Beavers joined Teach For America, gaining valuable perspective while teaching in Warren County, NC. She also met her husband, a dedicated high school teacher, and together they built a family during their seven years in Augusta, GA, raising three wonderful children.

Today, Dr. Beavers is the proud founder of Bloom Pediatric Partners in Angier, NC, where she brings her unique blend of expertise, compassion, and humor to her patients and their families. Outside the office, she enjoys music, exercise, and creating meaningful moments with her family, even if it looks a bit different than her days of running half-marathons and traveling every weekend.

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