Pediatrics was founded in 1980 by Dr. Teresa Salter, the third pediatrician in Cary, and the second woman doctor in Cary. In 1989 she was joined by Dr. David Horowitz, then by Dr. Bill Adams, Dr. Irene Chao, Dr. Samantha Baer and Dr. Mary Elizabeth Capps.

Triangle Pediatrics is privileged to help you care for your children. We realize that all children are unique, and their needs are best met by you, the folks who know them best. Triangle Pediatrics is here to assist.

We are a small practice and that's the way we like it. All of our doctors are members of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and specialty certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. We would be happy for you to "attach " to one of our doctors, and think of them as your own.



The American Academy of Pediatrics is committed to the best physical, mental, and social health of children. We are allowed to display this seal because all our doctors are members in excellent standing.
The American Board of Pediatrics certifies pediatricians based on standards of excellence that lead to high quality health care. A practice may only display this seal if all it's doctors are certified.
Triangle Pediatrics would like to introduce you to their certified lactation consultant, Martha Sanderson. She is available to support and promote breastfeeding at Triangle Pediatrics.
