Contemporary Pediatrics

Contemporary Pediatrics is pleased to announce that Kathleen Gutman, MD, has joined our professional staff as a practicing physician. As a board certified pediatrician with nearly 30 years of experience serving Dayton-area families, Dr. Gutman offers complete health and wellness care to patients from newborns to young adults.

Dr. Gutman emphasizes the ongoing partnership between patient, parent and physician. “I appreciate the opportunity to not only care for children and support their growth at every stage, but to also offer reassurance and guidance to parents, especially new ones. It’s my goal to be compassionate with every child, listen to them at every level, to address each concern and assure their well-being.”  Dr. Gutman notes that she has had the rare opportunity to serve new parents who were also her patients as children — establishing a tradition of continuing care over two generations.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Gutman has mentored and served as a preceptor for medical students, resident doctors and nurse practitioners.
Of special note, she was recognized in 2022 and 2023 as one of the region’s ‘Best Doctors’ by Dayton Magazine, and in 2024 was a featured doctor in Best of Ohio magazine.

Dr. Gutman was born in Dayton and raised in Beavercreek. She graduated magna cum laude from Kent State University, and received her medical degree as valedictorian from the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. She was elected into the honor society Alpha Omega Alpha during her time in medical school.  She completed her pediatric residency at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania.  She is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Please join us in welcoming certified family nurse practitioner Toni Johnson to our clinical care team; Toni offers complete, compassionate health care for children of all ages. 

Toni also focuses on disease prevention, with an emphasis on on-going wellness. And, with ten years experience at Dayton Children’s Hospital, she provides for our patients with an extensive background in pediatric medicine.

“My goal is to always offer the best possible guidance to every patient — through mutual trust and understanding, and by relying on proven, evidence-based care.”

Toni earned her Bachelor of Science, Nursing degree from Wright State University and her Master of Science in Nursing, Nurse Practitioner degree from Indiana Wesleyan University.
