About me
Hello, I am Dr. Jaclyn Otero, and I am an associate professor at the University of Florida in the Department of Pediatrics. I am also a board-certified pediatrician who completed seven years of training during medical school and residency at UF. During my time at UF, I earned the respect of my peers and supervisors, which led to my selection as Pediatric Chief Resident. This distinguished position reflects my commitment to leadership and innovation, which I continue to foster through medical student education and my numerous publications.
I have had the privilege of caring for children from birth to age 21 at UF Health Pediatrics – Magnolia Parke since its opening. I place a strong emphasis on preventative care, focusing not only on physical health but also on emotional well-being. My goal is to help children reach their full potential through compassionate care. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is supporting children and their families through challenging times. Newborn care and breastfeeding medicine are particular passions of mine, along with promoting health through vaccination.
Outside of the office, you can often find me around town, navigating the joys and challenges of raising three little girls.
