Overview

Services

As a pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the diabetes and endocrine department I enjoy helping children and families navigate their new diagnosis. With patients and families new to a diagnosis of diabetes, it is important to create a shared decision making model so everyone feels empowered to play a role in their medical care. I encourage patients and families to ask questions. When seeing patients in endocrine, I look forward to educating them about how the endocrine system works so they fully understand their disorder through drawing pictures, explanation, and handouts.

Nurse Chrissy is the absolute best at educating and enabling our daughter but also approaching everything with confidence such that we all feel so much better about this journey as a family with Diabetes. We are so thankful for her.

It was really great all the way around. My Bob-binary teen is pretty informed, but still had some questions and the team at Children's did a fabulous job. Thank you for being an excellent resource for them and for the parents. ??

I love the staff at Children's Hospital. Everyone is so respectful, informative, and courteous. Such a great team. The only thing, all those visits are so long, been there like three hours, but I totally get it. I understand that it's just a lot of information to take in. I'm so thankful for the team. Other than the three-hour class, everything is perfect. I love that team at Children's Hospital.

The provider was amazing and told me things that were helpful and that I've never been told or been aware of before. She trusted my judgement and didn't push anything. I also felt like this provider didn't tell me things I already know/have been repeated to me over and over.

I did not like the nurse practitioner that came into the room when talking to her she did not listen to me when explain to her that my child has infusions Monday and Tuesday prior to his his appt and that we experience difficulties at his infusions she got up and walked out
