About Dr. Saint-Faust
After completing a medical course between Marseille and Nice and obtaining her doctorate in Medicine in 2009, she naturally moved towards pediatrics and then neonatology. Indeed, Dr. Saint-Faust has been at the heart of birth and families for 14 years now (including 8 years in Geneva); she practiced in a university hospital setting until the end of October 2020 and has now chosen to continue her career as a pediatrician in a private practice for greater proximity and support for children and their parents.
Dr. Saint-Faust wishes to continue close exchanges with Geneva maternity hospitals (HUG and private clinics) and the desire for multidisciplinary collaboration with the various stakeholders in perinatal care. It is a great opportunity for her to now be able to monitor and meet the needs of children from a very young age, right up to adolescence.
“Humility is one of the greatest lessons I have learned after 10 years in the delivery room and with newborns (full term or premature) and their families.” - Dr. Marie Saint-Faust

About Dr. Sommer
After studying medicine in Geneva and graduating in 2009, I began my specialization in pediatrics in the canton of Vaud in Morges and then in Aigle. Back in Geneva in 2012, I obtained my FMH in pediatrics in 2014. I then began a sub-specialization in neonatology which led me to work for two years at Sainte Justine Hospital in Montreal from 2015 to 2017. I worked for 5 years as head of clinic in neonatology and then for 1 year in pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology at HUG in order to improve my skills in the nutritional monitoring of children with specific needs in this area. I have been in practice since 2021 in order to be able to provide personalized support to children from birth to adolescence as well as to their families. My wish is to be able to use my clinical experience to have the chance to meet the specific needs of children and to be able to see them grow.
