Born in Philadelphia, and raised near Princeton, New Jersey, he received his MD in 1974 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (Penn), where he was honored by his classmates with the Joel Gordon Miller Awards as the outstanding contributor to the class. He is a 1970 graduate of Yale, from which he received a B.A. in (child) psychology, and a 1966 graduate of the Lawrenceville School. He became Board certified in Pediatrics in 1980, and Board certified in Pediatric Endocrinology in 1983.

He has served as an expert medical witness in both criminal and civil court cases, and is a reviewer for several national pediatric journals. He is a biographee in the publications Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare, Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.
Kenneth R. Burke, M.D., F.A.A.P.
Dr. Burke has been with Wildwood Pediatric since he completed his residency at Yale in July, 1986.
 Having been born in Paris, France, where his father was stationed in the army, he moved to the United States at three months of age, when his parents returned to their roots in Massachusetts. In 1979, he earned his bachelor's degree in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where for his thesis, he did research related to atherosclerosis. While there, he also studied French, lived in a French-speaking house, and earned his private pilot's license.
In 1979, he made the trek cross country to attend Stanford University School of Medicine in California. While still a fourth year medical student, he was honored to have the Department of Pediatrics ask him to work as an acting intern in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. He received his M.D. in 1983, when he returned to the East Coast to do his internship and residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He is board certified in Pediatrics, having outscored 98 percent of those taking the board exam with him. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In addition to his duties at Wildwood, Dr. Burke also enjoys being a clinical instructor in Pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine. He spends one half day a week teaching residents and medical students at the Pediatric Primary Care Center at the Yale Children's Hospital. He has helped to develop guidelines for the inpatient treatment of children with asthma at Yale Children's Hospital. He has also worked in the Cystic Fibrosis clinic at Yale.
Nicholas Condulis, M.D., F.A.A.P.
Dr. Condulis joined Wildwood Pediatrics in July, 1994 after completing his training at Yale.
A native of Long Island, Nico, as he is known, earned his B.S. degree in biology and Magna Cum Laude honors in 1986 at the State University of New York (SUNY), Stony Brook, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He earned his M.D. degree in 1990 at SUNY Health Science Center, Brooklyn. He subsequently became a resident in pediatrics at Yale Children's Hospital, where his performance was so strong that he was given the Morris Krosnick Award by his fellow residents for caring, dedication, and compassionate patient service. Upon completing his residency in 1993, he accepted Yale's invitation to have him stay on for another years as a Chief Resident in Pediatrics.
As Chief Resident, Dr. Condulis held a joint appointment at the Yale University School of Medicine and Yale Children's Hospital as associate instructor. His responsibilities were quite varied and included: scheduling the rotations for the residents in training, organizing the conferences for the Department of Pediatrics, participating in Grand Rounds, facilitating the "move" into the new Children's Hospital, teaching and supervising residents and medical students, etc.
Dr. Condulis enjoys the teaching aspect of hospital medicine and he has continued to devote his time one morning a week with the residents and medical students at Yale. He is currently an Associate clinical professor of Yale Children's Hospital. He was Board Certified in October, 1995, and enjoys Fellow status of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Michelle E. DiLorenzo, D.O., F.A.A.P.
 Dr. DiLorenzo is the most recent physician addition to the practice, and has been very enthusiastic about meeting and caring for all of our families. She recently completed her Pediatric Medicine residency at Geisinger Medical Center in rural, central Pennsylvania. In her residency she developed special interest in preventive medicine, presenting a Grand Rounds on "The Effects of Cigarette Smoke on Infants, Children, and Adolescents".
After graduating with a BS in Biology and a minor in history from Moravian College in historic Bethlehem, PA, Michelle chose to study for her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Degree. As an osteopathic physician, she not only learned the same principles and practice of medicine as an "MD", but also had additional classes, labs, and rotations in Osteopathic Medicine. Physicians trained in osteopathy learn in depth about the spine and musculoskeletal system, and gain skills in osteopathic manipulative therapies and modalities. Currently Michelle feels these are best reserved for her older patients who may have musculoskeletal complaints or concerns.
Dr. DiLorenzo was Board Certified in Pediatrics in 1996, and became a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics shortly thereafter. An Attending Physician at the Children's Hospital at Yale New Haven, she is also an Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the Yale University School of Medicine, and guest lectures at the Yale School of Nursing. Her special interests include asthma and allergies, adolescent medicine, sports medicine, and rational alternative therapies. She enjoys precepting residents and medical students in the general pediatric clinic at Yale as well as teaching her patients and their families. |
