Overview

Services

I've spent most of my life in Wisconsin growing up in the North Shore area, attending college at UW-Madison, and living in Wauwatosa during medical school. After completing residency training in Kansas City and working as a neonatal hospitalist at Stanford University in Northern California, my husband and I are happy to be back in the Midwest!

Being a pediatrician has been my goal since third grade, and I'm excited to practice in my home state. I look forward to building long-term relationships with patients and their families, and I especially enjoy newborn care and well-child visits. Outside of work I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, and cheering on Wisconsin sports teams.

We absolutely love Dr. Underkofler. She listens to our concerns without judgement. We always feel informed rather than pressured. We hope we can bring our child to Dr. Underkofler for years to come. Thank you!!

I truly cannot say enough great things about this specific Children's location. I bring both of my kiddos here, and we are beyond grateful that we get to see Dr. Underkofler. My 2 kids are completely opposite; 1 has absolutely no issues with going to the doctor and getting shots (when applicable), and the other one is a complete mess as soon as we walk in. The way the entire staff is able to adapt and improvise on the spot, in the moment is what makes each of these professionals so special! And Dr. Underkofler is my all-time favorite. As a parent with kiddos of different needs, I feel SO incredibly comfortable talking to her and opening up about anything. She's so comforting, understanding, and relatable. I truly feel like I'm talking to a best friend, and we only see her for yearly exams.

Dr. Underkofler is an extraordinary pediatrician. She is so warm, gentle, and nonjudgmental of any questions or concerns we as first time parents have. 11/10 would recommend her to any parent looking for the best possible care for their child. We adore her and how exceptional she is with our son.
