Board Certified Pediatrician in Gainesville. I graduated from San Martin de Porres University in Lima, Peru. In Peru I served as the Director of a Medical Center in Callao, Peru (main port and one of lowest income cities of Peru). I was able to coordinate many immunization and health care programs for children in the community. I decided to move back home to Chicago where I completed a Masters of Public Health at the University of Illinois and worked as a 2nd grade teacher. I completed the master's degree and was able to be involved as a research associate at many city and federal organizations. In 2004, I completed the Pediatric Residency at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. After graduating I settled in Gainesville in private practice until establishing Kids Doc Pediatrics in 2007. I participate as a member of the University of Florida – Pediatrics After Hours. I have privileges at Shands - University of Florida and North Florida Regional Medical Center.
Though I was born in Chicago and raised in Lima, Peru I have learned to love Gainesville that has given me the opportunity to raise my children in a great city. Outside of work I enjoy traveling and spending time with my wife and 3 children (Gianella, Andrea, and Piero). I enjoy watching and playing soccer with my children.
I was born in Peru and come from a family of 5 sisters. I studied Elementary Education and became a Preschool teacher in Peru and later worked as a kindergarten teacher in Chicago. After completing my career in Education I married Dr. Scaccabarrozzi in 1993. I am a mother of 3 children: Gianella, Andrea, and Piero. Upon arrival in Gainesville I became the Spanish teacher at Queen of Peace Catholic Academy. I've always been interested in working with children and feel privileged in being part of Kids Doc Pediatrics. I have been the office manager since opening in 2007. I strive in making our priority in service being "patients are the most important people in our practice..

Jennifer Kabrich began her medical career in 1999 working with adults and pediatrics. She joined Kids Doc Pediatrics in 2008. Jennifer spends most of her time watching her son Ethan competes in Archery Events and is looking forward to continuing to further her education in the medical field in the future. The reason Jennifer chose to become a nurse and work in Pediatrics is because she finds her daily job rewarding, and it allows her to be a part of each child’s developmental stages big or small, sick or well on a daily basis!
