Our Story
Welcome to Hometown Pediatrics!
Hometown Pediatrics is a locally owned pediatric practice serving families throughout Northwest Ohio.
We provide comprehensive pediatric care for newborns through adolescents, including well-child visits, immunizations, same-day sick appointments, sports physicals, developmental screenings, ADHD management, and preventive care.
Our approach is relationship-based and community-centered. We take time to listen, answer questions, and truly know your child — because great pediatric care is personal.
As an independent practice, we combine evidence-based medicine with small-town connection. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just another appointment. You’re part of our hometown.
Our Story
From the moment I decided to return to school to become a pediatric nurse practitioner, I knew I wanted to build a pediatric practice that truly served the children and families of my community and the surrounding areas. Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children in this region and forming meaningful, lasting relationships with families — connections that ultimately inspired the creation of Hometown Pediatrics.
My roots in this community run deep. I spent part of my childhood in Middle Point, where my maternal grandparents farmed land in the Lincolnview School District, and my paternal grandparents lived their entire lives in Van Wert. I graduated from Delphos Jefferson, settled in Landeck after marriage, and eventually made Columbus Grove our home, where my family and I have lived since 1996.
These experiences have shaped both who I am and how I practice medicine — with a strong appreciation for community, relationships, and personalized care.
