Hi!
I am a pediatrician practicing in Northern Kentucky for the past 25 years since finishing my training at the University of Kentucky. The effectiveness of immunizations has greatly changed the kinds of illnesses we see in the office everyday and I would be glad to share my experience in anyway that can help parents feel comfortable with things.
I am a board-certified pediatrician practicing in Leitchfield, Kentucky, which happens to be my hometown. I completed my residency training at Norton Children's in 2015 and came straight home to join our local pediatric practice. As a parent I understand the stresses of making the best decisions for your children and am happy to be here as an expert on the topic of pediatrics and, in this situation, vaccinations.
I am happily married and together my wife and I have two children. I enjoy hunting, cooking and woodworking in my spare time.
Hello!
I am a pediatric nurse practitioner and lactation consultant working in the Eastern Kentucky and Tri-State area for 20 years.
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, running, weightlifting, cooking, and baking. I have also two teenage sons who keep me busy.
I am proud to say that myself and my family are fully vaccinated. I hope I can be helpful in answering your vaccination questions and easing any concerns you may have regarding vaccines.
