Personal Notes

Dr. DePalma lives in Webster Groves with her husband and their two children. She loves that her job is helping kids and their parents because she knows that being a parent is a really hard job! (and sometimes being a kid is too). In her free time she loves to bake, sew, cuddle with her cat and plan her family's next trip to Disney World.
