Raising a family was hard enough. Then, #2020.

I’m a nationally-known and experienced pediatrician who’s passionate about connecting with families “between the check-ups.” I offer evidence-based child health and parenting goodness that’s sprinkled with experience and common sense. I want to help you parent smart and parent confident, every day of the year.

Currently, I work full-time in a suburban private practice in Overland Park, KS, while raising two kids of my own. My first book, Managing Childhood Anxiety (For Dummies), will be published by Wiley in the fall of 2025.

If you can’t find me in the office, it’s likely because I’m also doing work as a Spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, working with Brands I love as an influencer, sharing my thoughts with the media, or partnering with other leaders who are making our world better for kids.
