Emily Shabbir, PA

After exploring life in cities across the US, I’ve found that my favorite place to be is right here in Jacksonville, helping families navigate the beautiful chaos of the early years. A proud Gainesville native and UF College of Medicine alum, I earned my Master of Physician Assistant Studies in 2019 and have been part of the Angel Kids family since 2021.

My medical philosophy is simple: I’ll handle the "science-y" explanations, and we’ll make the big decisions as a team. I’m also a firm believer that nutritious food and mental well-being are the secret ingredients to a healthy child.

While I treat children of all ages, I have a special heart for babies and toddlers. I am passionate about supporting moms through the breastfeeding journey; it is such a unique and vital time, and I love being a resource and a steady hand for families as they find their rhythm.

When not at work, I’m usually deep into a small craft project, getting lost in a good book, or enjoying some downtime with my husband and daughter. My favorite pastime is family bike rides, where our dog, Pippin, hitches a ride and watches the world go by from his very own basket.
