Meredith Flores, M.D.
Assistant Professor
I have experience providing education for mothers of children with NAS (Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome) through the MOMmies (Moms on Methadone) program, a Medication Assisted Treatment program for pregnant and parenting mothers with Substance Use Disorders. I also have experience as a General Pediatrician in a busy outpatient clinic including many WCE and newborn visits during which I followed the development of infants and children. I also have experience managing withdrawal in newborns with NAS in the UH NICU. I now have the privilege of following these infants in the Overcoming WithdrawaL Clinic (OWL Clinic), a follow-up clinic for infants discharged from UH who had NAS during the newborn period. The OWL Clinic provides continuity of care and monitoring of development after discharge. It is through these experiences that I have come to love caring for this vulnerable population of children and their families!
