James River Pediatrics

About Us
Dr. John Zachary founded James River Pediatrics in 1986 and continues to provide our community with personalized, exceptional pediatric care.
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Zachary has been a beloved and trusted figure in the pediatric community. From welcoming newborns in the hospital to now caring for the children of those very same babies, he represents the heart of our practice — a true example of generational care and dedication. Families don’t just visit our office — they return, year after year, because they know they’re part of something more personal.
In October of 2022, Dr. Christine Jones joined our James River Pediatric family. With years of experience in the fast-paced environment of the Chippenham Pediatric Emergency Room, she has brought a calm, skilled, and reassuring presence to every patient and family encounter. Her background allows her to approach pediatric care with both urgency and empathy, making her a vital asset to our growing practice.
