John Tappel MD, FAAP
Professional history:
Dr. John Tappel attended the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine in Ohio. He did his pediatric specialty training with the Air Force at David Grant Medical Center in California. He spent 21 years as an Air Force pediatrician, which included two tours to Alaska, as well as the chance to practice medicine in many foreign countries. He retired in 2005 to join LaTouche Pediatrics, LLC. He is a faculty member of UAA and the University of Washington, which teaches medical students through the WWAMI program.
Professional and personal interests:
I appreciate all aspects of the development of children, from young infants though adolescents. I have a special interest in sports medicine, the promotion of fitness and managing chronic diseases. I strongly encourage prevention as the cornerstone of healthy living. I see my role as a partnership with parents in promoting the health of their child.
Outside of the office, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, skiing and cycling.
