DNP, CPNP-AC/PC
Krissy is a dual certified pediatric nurse practitioner in both primary and acute care through the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB) with a decade of experience in critical care, primary care, and functional pediatrics. As a new mom herself, she founded Happy Kids Pediatrics to offer the intentional, deeper pediatric care she wished existed.
Krissy uniquely blends conventional medicine with holistic strategies, like nutritional support, lifestyle guidance, and lab testing.
Krissy looks beyond symptoms to identify and address what’s really going on.
Members will always be able to talk directly with Krissy through texts and portal messages.
Krissy takes the time to listen to and collaborate with parents, respecting each family’s values and choices.
"I’m here alongside you in caring for your child. My goal is to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way."
Care that works for real life
Direct primary care is built for busy families who want reliable access, a trusted provider, and clear communication. It’s ideal for new parents, families with frequent illnesses, or anyone who wants to feel truly supported throughout their child’s health journey.

You’ll always know what to expect. Membership includes all routine and sick visits, with transparent pricing for everything else.
Support when you need it
You’ll have direct communication with Krissy to handle anything that comes up quickly and confidently, from weekend fevers to forms deadlines.
What to expect at your first visit
Be greeted by your provider
When you walk through the door, you’ll be welcomed by Krissy herself. We stagger appointments intentionally, which means you won’t be sharing space with other sick kids or rushing to check in at a front desk.
Settle in together
We’ll take the time getting to know both you and your child. Krissy handles everything personally, from taking vitals to walking through your child’s health history, development, and routines. This is your time to ask questions and share concerns.
Dive deeper into health
The first visit is longer than a typical pediatric appointment because we do more than just check boxes. For infants, we’ll discuss the pregnancy and birth experience. For older children, we’ll look closely at sleep, diet, behavior, and growth, all with a focus on root causes and preventive care.
Leave with a plan
You’ll walk away with an individualized care plan that reflects your child’s unique needs and your parenting philosophy. Our goal is always to help your child thrive, grow, and reach their fullest potential in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Our commitment to

your child's health
Yes. Happy Kids Pediatrics is in-network with Horizon BCBS, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare for primary care services. To maintain the extended visits, direct access, and the personalized support we’re known for, we charge an annual office fee per patient, covering time and services that insurance typically doesn’t reimburse.
Families without in-network coverage can still choose membership or per-visit pricing for flexible, transparent care.
If you’re a member, you can text or call Krissy directly without dealing with a front desk or triage line. This model gives you peace of mind knowing you always have support when you need it.
That’s okay! We offer a fee-for-service model with transparent, up-front pricing for families who prefer to pay per visit. This includes wellness exams, sick visits, and physicals.
