About Dr. Firestone, Jr.

I specialize in Pediatrics. I became a healthcare provider because I love helping parents and children better understand each other and their medical issues. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I love to teach and coach my patients and hope to inspire them to be more confident than when they came in.

My little something extra

I play the trumpet, which I started in high school. Also, I love New Orleans and the amazing spirit of the people. Nothing gets them down!

Dr. Firestone is a fantastic provider. He is very thorough. He explains everything so that you can understand it. My grandson likes him and he is a 16-year-old boy. So, for a 16-year-old not to mind talking to a doctor, that's fantastic and so is Dr. Firestone and Dr. Stevenson. Thank you.
