About Dr. Klock

Dr. Barbara Klock, MD, FAAP is a board-certified pediatrician passionate about children, parents and their journey together.  Her life has always revolved around kids. From clowning at children's birthday parties as a student at Swarthmore College, to teaching kindergarten and eighth grade in the same day at a public school and, finally, to attending medical school with the focused goal of becoming a pediatrician, children have been the center of her daily life. 

Dr. Klock graduated from Yale School of Medicine where she also completed her residency in Pediatrics.  A proud native of Philadelphia, she returned to the city after her medical training and cared for children in private practice for over fifteen years at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Care Network in Roxborough.

She founded Dr. Klock Talks to support parents and children as they grow together. At each stage of childhood, some things get easier and some things get more challenging.  Through years of experience caring for children and their families, Dr. Klock is skilled and effective at helping families anticipate and navigate the parallel journeys of parenthood and childhood.

Dr. Klock is committed to supporting organizations that provide opportunities for children in the Philadelphia region. She currently sits on the board of The Please Touch Museum, The Haverford School, MacGuffin Theatre and Film Company and The Chester Charter School for the Arts.

You will see her around town with her husband and their three children biking, rollerblading or exploring a museum.
