Meet Elise Kibler, MD
I became a doctor because I wanted to help people, just like my family did. My grandfather was a surgeon in World War II. He shared powerful stories about caring for soldiers and took pride in his work. My mother was one of the first women in her medical school. She helped develop a system that doctors still use today to read mammograms. Both of them loved what they did—and they showed me how one person can make a big difference.
As a pediatrician, I work closely with parents to help them make the best choices for their child’s health. I see myself as part of their care team—here to share information, answer questions and offer support.
My young patients inspire me. Their joy, energy and honesty remind me every day why I love this work.
I care for the complete well-being of each child, addressing both their physical and mental health.
My clinical interests include:
I also enjoy supporting foster families. As a former foster mom, I know how meaningful that care can be.
I love to teach.“I love to educate, and many children may not understand their physiological processes so they can make the best choices for themselves.”
My goal is to help reduce the stress of parenting and support every child in growing, healing and thriving.
Meet Chelsea Oakes, MD
As a pediatrician, I work alongside parents and caregivers to nurture their children's overall health. Ever since I could remember, I have always wanted to help children live healthy and productive lives.
However, pediatric primary care is just the beginning of where my passion lies. I also specialize in care for infants who started out in the NICU.
Favorite Parts of Medicine:
Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my son and daughter, as well as skiing, hiking and traveling.
