Daniel E. Hermann, MD, MPH, is Chair of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at Summit Health.

Dr. Hermann became a physician because of his father's poor health. "Watching how compassionate doctors were with my father and knowing how they helped him made me want to do the same for other people. I wanted to be a pediatrician so that I could help kids get better from or manage their illnesses as quickly and easily as possible." He believes that a healthy diet, physical activity, love, encouragement to explore their interests, and guidance to do the right thing are necessary to help children thrive.

Dr. Hermann has been featured in the New Jersey Family "New Jersey's Favorite Kids' Docs" listings.

When he is not working with his patients, Dr. Hermann enjoys his 2 children and is involved in their varied activities.
