Dr. Homer received his medical degree from the Morehouse School of Medicine in 1991, where he received training at Grady Memorial Hospital. He completed his pediatric residency training in 1994 at Howard University Hospital/ DC General Hospital program in Washington D.C. After 2 years of working in a rural hospital in Trinidad, West Indies, Dr. Homer spent the next 5 years working in various community healthcare centers in Staten Island, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Manhattan, fulfilling the requirements of the New York State regent healthcare scholarship program.
In the Spring of 2001, Dr. Homer returned to the Atlanta area and joined a private pediatric practice in Norcross, until he became an employee of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) in July of 2002 working in their primary care center in downtown Decatur, as well as their immediate care center in Stockbridge for more than 3 years. While working at CHOA, Dr. Homer realized that in a private practice setting he would be better able to efficiently meet the needs of his patients and their families. Thus, Dekalb Pediatric Associates, P.C. (DPA) was formed, where patients can be cared for in a thorough, well-organized and professional manner. DPA was created to meet the needs of working parents, as well as parents of sick children who require time sensitive appointments. Dr. Homer prides himself on the close relationships he has developed with his patients and their parents. It is through these relationships that Dr. Homer is able to personally help parents raise happy, well-adjusted, productive and healthy children.
Dr. Homer is proficient in Spanish, is board certified in pediatrics, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He is an assistant clinical professor for community pediatrics for Emory University School of Medicine and he works extensively with medical students and residents from Emory and the Morehouse School of Medicine.
