Is Happy Kids right for your family?

We're a different kind of pediatric practice. Here's how to know if we're the right match for how you want to care for your child.

Happy Kids is ideal if you…

Value longer, unhurried visits where all your questions get answered

Want to explore the root cause of health concerns—not just treat symptoms

Believe nutrition, lifestyle, and prevention are essential parts of your child's care

Appreciate direct access to your provider between visits via secure text messaging

Want to be an informed partner in your child's healthcare decisions

Value a concierge-style pediatric practice with membership-based or insurance + enhanced care options

Our practice may not be the best fit if you're looking for:

A fast-paced, high-volume office with brief appointments

A traditional pediatric practice without an integrative approach

A provider who makes medical decisions without collaborative discussion

A practice model with no annual membership or enhanced care fee

A practice designed around maximizing patient volume rather than personalized care

Your voice.
Our expertise.

At Happy Kids Pediatrics, we mix evidence-based medicine with a whole lot of heart, so your child gets thoughtful care that’s tailored to their one-of-a-kind needs while still respecting your family values. From wellness checks to complex concerns, we’re here to support your family every step of the way.

"Do not sleep on Happy Kids Pediatrics. Krissy is incredibly kind, caring, and equally well researched and sharp. We feel truly seen, heard, and educated without bias at every appointment. She really takes the time to get to know us AND our daughter and explains every step of what she’s doing and why which makes us feel totally at ease. She is everything we could want in a provider and as a first time parent I’m so grateful we found her when we did."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Happy Kids Pediatrics and Krissy. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel so welcomed and cared for. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely invested in her little patients. What stood out the most is how much time she took with us, she didn’t rush through anything, and instead sat and talked with me at length, addressing every question and concern with so much kindness and knowledge.One of the biggest comforts as a new mom is how available she is. Anytime I’ve had a worry or needed clarification, she has responded right away with reassurance and guidance. That level of communication is rare and means the world.We feel so lucky to have found Krissy. Happy Kids Pediatrics truly lives up to its name, and I would recommend her to any parent looking for a compassionate, attentive, and thoughtful pediatrician."

Happy Kids Mom

"We had the best experience at Happy Kids Pediatrics. Krissy is absolutely amazing, caring, welcoming and highly knowledgeable. We were welcomed with the cutest welcome sign. After leaving our first appointment I felt a sense of relief because I know I found the pediatrician that I have been searching for for 3 years. I feel like my boys are in the best hands. Thank you so much Krissy, you are awesome!❤️"

Sam R.

"We absolutely love Happy Kids Pediatrics! My 6 and 8-year-olds actually look forward to going to the doctor thanks to the kind, compassionate care Krissy provides. She is incredibly knowledgeable, listens carefully to any concerns, and never rushes through appointments. If you're looking for a provider who genuinely cares and works with you to support your child’s health in a thoughtful and personalized way, Krissy is the one. Highly recommend!"

Kaitlyn L.

"Finally found a pediatrician who actually cares and listens. She takes her time and is knowledgeable about any topic we have with her about our little one . 5 stars!"

Olivia V.

"I was completely wowed at my daughter’s visit today. Happy kids isn’t just another doctors office with beige or white walls and mediocre decor, it’s bright and cheery, clean, and Krissy was just the absolute sweetest. I felt comfortable asking questions and expressing any concerns. My daughter also immediately felt comfortable which is extremely important!"

Brittany L.

"Kristina is caring and knowledgeable in all things children! She has helped me through countless issues with my two kids including giving me homeopathic remedies to ear aches and diapers rashes! If you are looking for more than a pill to fix your children’s health issues she is your girl!"
