Welcome Dr. Chadehumbe!
Dr. Chadehumbe’s belief that the brain and mind are closely associated has inspired her to help children with neurological and neurobehavioral issues. She recognizes the importance of instilling hope in patients and their families through evidence-based and interdisciplinary care, with compassion and respect.
Viewing childhood as a journey, full of possibilities, Dr. Chadehumbe strives to help each child become the best possible version of themselves. While she cares for patients with a variety of neurological concerns, she has special interest in providing treatment for patients with self-injurious behaviors in autism and neurodevelopmental disorders, headaches, dysautonomia, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, epilepsy, and integrative medicine.
As an advocate for children with a variety of neurological concerns, Dr. Chadehumbe sits on the Medical Advisory Board of the International 22q11.2 Foundation and Eden Autism Board in Princeton, NJ. She is also a recent recipient of Penn Pearls Teaching Award by the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and of the Diversity Leadership Program Award by the American Academy of Neurology. In October of this year, Dr. Chadehumbe was appointed to the Child Neurology Foundation Board and was elected and approved for Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology status.
Dr. Chadehumbe received her medical degree from the University of Zimbabwe, conducted her pediatric residency at Michigan State University and her child neurology residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center University. Following her academic studies, she accomplished triple Board-Certification, specializing in Pediatrics, Child Neurology and Headache medicine.
When asked about the origin of her elegant accent, she explains that it uniquely evolved through her lifetime, being born in England, attending medical school in Zimbabwe, and living in the United States since 2000 when she arrived to pursue her medical career. She now lives in New Jersey with her husband and two sons.
