Laura Weidt, MD, FAAP

Dr. Weidt has enjoyed being a pediatrician at Tiger Pediatrics for over 20 years. She is married to Dan Stiefermann who also works in medicine as a hospital nursing supervisor. She is a busy wife and mom to two beautiful teenage girls, Sarah and Kate. On her own time, she has enjoyed music and dance as part of her life since childhood and has not let that go. She enjoys singing at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Sundays and at school masses with the kids where her girls have attended. Sarah now plays trumpet at Father Tolton High School in the marching and concert band, and Kate enjoys singing in choir. Both of her girls have danced at Columbia Dance Academy since they were 3. Kate has made dance a passion and spends every night and Saturdays at the studio practicing for multiple competitions and the end of the year recital. Sarah has also discovered her passion for golf and lives for fall and the Tolton Girls Golf team adventures every year.

As a doctor, Dr. Weidt will share her experience with you as she helps you navigate the plethora of information available, whether it’s about your child’s development, feeding, sleep, behavior challenges and even education. She is an avid proponent of breastfeeding and loves to help moms through any struggles, both as a doctor and a mom with experience. She is an avid proponent of childhood vaccinations as well. And she believes in antibiotic stewardship and their careful use to help prevent antibiotic resistance. Aside from all the above routine maintenance, her favorite thing is still getting to know all the kids and their families.
