Maggie Kissel

Staff Dynamic v1.1

“I’ve wanted to be a pediatrician for as long as I can remember. Going through training reaffirmed this desire (other than a brief stint in OB/GYN when I thought about how fun it would be to deliver babies – but then quickly realized I was much more interested in the newborns!) PHA was my first job out of residency, and it has been amazing being able to watch my babies grow into childhood and see families expand. The continuity and relationships I have been able to build with the families I take care of is exactly why I wanted to become a pediatrician in the first place.”
