About Awesome Possum Pediatrics

Bio

I left my position in a traditional insurance-based clinic because I was tired of cutting corners. I loved being in the exam room with my patients - learning their stories, helping them understand illnesses, and watching them grow. I was exhausted though by the pace of 15 minute appointments all day. I left to open Awesome Possum Pediatrics - my own clinic where hour long appointments are standard, I get to know each of my patients and their families and provide them the care they deserve.

Q&A

What are your certifications and trainings?

I am board certified in Pediatrics. After earning my MD from Creighton School of Medicine, I completed pediatric residency at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. American Board of Pediatrics certification requires 100+ hours of continuing medical education and testing every 5 years to stay up to date on pediatric care. I actually love the learning!

What drew you into working with parents-to-be?

I love working with infants and new parents! Reviewing a new parent's list of questions is one of my favorite parts of clinic visits. So much in Pediatrics is preventative care. I love being able to provide continuity of care as infants and families grow. Getting to be with families from the beginning is truly an honor.

Are there any specialities in who you serve? (e.g. home birth, VBAC, etc.)

I provide pediatric care for children as newborns until after they graduate from high school. I would love to be along offering guidance for the entire ride - from the first prenatal meet-and-greet to the talk about transitioning to an "adult provider" and all the great steps along the way. But your welcome to join anywhere along the way.

What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?

You got this! Babies and kids are amazingly resilient. Their needs are pretty simple - protection, nutrition, love, and attention. The other details are just noise. Enjoy being with your tiny human.
