Dr. Janet Levatin Obituary – North Royalton, Ohio: A Beloved Holistic Pediatrician Remembered
North Royalton, OH — The community of North Royalton and the broader holistic health world are mourning the loss of Dr. Janet Levatin, a pioneering holistic pediatrician whose compassionate care, innovative approach to medicine, and dedication to natural healing touched the lives of countless families. Dr. Levatin passed away recently, leaving behind a powerful legacy of healing, advocacy, and inspiration.
The Hyper Health Wellness Center, where Dr. Levatin most recently practiced, released a heartfelt statement expressing profound sorrow over her passing. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of our cherished colleague, mentor, and friend. Dr. Janet Levatin was more than just a physician — she was a visionary who believed in treating the whole person and empowering families to make informed choices about their health,” the statement read.
A Career Devoted to Healing
Dr. Janet Levatin began her remarkable medical journey in 1982, graduating from George Washington University School of Medicine. She went on to complete her pediatric internship and residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now part of Rutgers University) in 1986. From the very beginning, she set herself apart by integrating conventional pediatric training with an open-minded exploration of natural and alternative therapies.
Her career first took root in Boston, Massachusetts, where she gained recognition for her work in integrative and holistic pediatric care. Over time, she expanded her scope to include adults, focusing on treating root causes of illness rather than merely suppressing symptoms. In later years, she relocated to Ohio, where she became a vital part of the holistic health community in North Royalton and surrounding areas.
At the Hyper Health Wellness Center, Dr. Levatin offered services that blended modern medical understanding with time-tested natural remedies, dietary guidance, homeopathy, and lifestyle education. She was especially well-known for her thoughtful and personalized care, often spending extended time with patients to understand their unique needs — a rarity in today’s fast-paced healthcare environment.
An Advocate for Informed Medical Freedom
Dr. Levatin was also a passionate advocate for informed medical decision-making. She encouraged parents to ask questions, do their research, and trust their instincts. She was known for supporting alternative vaccination schedules and for providing balanced, evidence-based information on complex pediatric issues, including chronic illness, allergies, behavioral challenges, and immune health.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Levatin was a prolific speaker and educator. She gave lectures and workshops nationwide, helping both health professionals and laypeople better understand the principles of holistic wellness. Her gentle demeanor and thoughtful communication style made her a beloved figure among both peers and patients.
A Legacy of Love and Knowledge
Dr. Levatin’s patients describe her as kind, intelligent, patient, and intuitive — a doctor who truly listened and partnered with families rather than prescribing from a distance. Many credit her with changing their lives and the lives of their children, not only through healing but by instilling confidence and hope in their health journeys.
Tributes have poured in on social media from families, fellow practitioners, and longtime friends, sharing stories of her unwavering dedication and deep compassion. “Dr. Janet wasn’t just our pediatrician — she was our guide, our teacher, and a true healer. Her absence will be deeply felt, but her influence will live on in the countless lives she touched,” one mother wrote.
Final Reflections
As the North Royalton community grieves this profound loss, plans are underway to celebrate Dr. Levatin’s life and honor her legacy. Details about memorial services will be shared by the family and the Hyper Health Wellness Center as they become available.
In a world where medicine often loses its human touch, Dr. Janet Levatin reminded us what it truly means to care for others — with empathy, integrity, and a commitment to whole-body wellness. Her impact will endure, both in the continued work of her colleagues and in the hearts of those she helped heal.
May her memory be a blessing and a beacon for future generations of healers.
