About
Dr. Suzanne Al-Hamad holds dual board certification in Pediatrics and Neonatology, a rare pairing that shapes every aspect of her clinical work. She completed her pediatrics residency at Johns Hopkins University, then pursued a Neonatology fellowship at the University of Maryland Medical Center. She also earned certification as a Breastfeeding Specialist.
After years practicing as a neonatologist in Las Vegas, Dr. Al-Hamad recognized that families needed deeper, more personalized access to pediatric care, particularly for newborns and medically fragile infants. She founded Wildflower Pediatrics to fill that gap. Known to her patients as Dr. Suz, she takes an integrative approach to care, addressing the whole child rather than isolated symptoms. She holds particular expertise in NICU follow-up, fourth trimester support, lactation, ADHD, chronic disease management, and developmental assessments. A mother of two, she moved to Las Vegas with her husband, Dr. Seth Ball, to raise their family near extended family. Outside of medicine, she enjoys yoga, hiking, biking, and time at the local park with her kids.
