About Dr. Wiley

Melora Wiley, MD, FAAP, specializes in developmental and behavioral pediatrics, caring for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. She works closely with families and teachers to understand the child's needs across all settings and uses shared decision making with caregivers to help each child reach their full potential. She believes that a positive partnership with the child and their family is essential when creating a treatment plan. Her goal is for each family to feel supported and confident while working as a team to help the child progress in their skills and capabilities.

Care philosophy

Dr. Wiley believes that excellent care begins with truly understanding the child and their current level of functioning. She provides comprehensive intake visits, allowing time for the family to fully communicate their concerns without feeling rushed, as well as collaborative care with other members of the child's care team. She makes sure they feel informed, respected, heard, comforted, and supported throughout their care journey.

Beyond Patient Care

Outside of work, Dr. Wiley enjoys baking, reading, and spending time with her family. She values the opportunity to serve the Eastern Shore community and enjoys seeing her patients' progress over time.
