About Dr. Firestone, Jr.
I specialize in Pediatrics because I’m passionate about helping children and parents better understand both one another and their medical needs. My patients can rely on me for compassionate, high-quality care, and I strive to make every visit an opportunity to teach, coach, and build confidence. I deeply value the trust and bond between healthcare providers and families, and I am dedicated to caring for the whole child while also supporting their parents.

My little something extra
Outside of medicine, I’ve been playing the trumpet since high school and still love it. I also have a deep love for New Orleans and the incredible resilience and spirit of its people—nothing gets them down! I’m especially excited to be back in Marrero, where I grew up, and to be close to some of my favorite local lunch spots like Juneau’s and Schnell’s.
