About

At Peppermint Pediatrics in Zionsville, Indiana, Dr. Janine Zee-Cheng brings a distinctive depth of expertise to primary care pediatrics. She holds dual board certifications in Pediatrics and Pediatric Critical Care, along with credentials as an IBCLC and Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. Her clinical background spans nearly a decade in the Pediatric ICU at Riley Hospital for Children before she built this practice around meaningful, unhurried relationships with families.

The practice serves children from birth through college graduation or age 22. Dr. Zee-Cheng keeps her panel intentionally small to ensure every family reaches her directly, by personal cell or email, around the clock. The office sits on five tranquil acres outside Zionsville, with no waiting room and only one family present at a time. Clinical offerings go well beyond routine well-child care. She manages complex conditions including POTS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. She provides neurodiversity-informed and trauma-informed care, lactation support, mental wellness sessions, car seat safety checks, dry needling, and professional piercing services. In-house rapid testing for strep, RSV, and flu is free for members.
