Profile

Naomi Pomerantz, MD is a pediatric provider with the FHP Pediatrics Clinic. She strives for her practice to be open and collaborative, one that places the child and their family at the center of decisions. She works closely with parents to help children reach their fullest developmental potential, and talk through management plans to facilitate discussion and open communication.

Dr. Pomerantz's interest in science and passion for helping people drew her to medicine at a young age, it seemed the obvious path to take. She finds it fascinating to watch children grow and develop, absorbing everything from the environment around them. Combining that with the ever-growing fields of science and medicine and the ability to help families through life challenges, both large and small, pediatrics has always felt like the right fit for her. 

Interests & Activities

Dr. Pomerantz believes there is nothing like time spent outdoors to clear the mind and help us appreciate the beauties in life, both big and small. Whenever possible you’ll find her outside, preferably on the water, "I love to fish, especially ice fishing!" Come spring she's excited to raise chickens again, build a smoke house, and get ready for the many fall hunting adventures that Alaska has to offer.

Even as a kid in the UK she has always been fascinated by Alaska. The sheer vastness of the landscape and the extreme seasons have long appealed. Dr. Pomerantz considers it a privilege to be able to practice pediatrics here, raise her kids and spend a lifetime exploring this beautiful state.
