Lara K. Wheeler, MD

When I care for patients, I prioritize kindness and compassion. I always greet people with a smile and listen attentively to their concerns. Understanding what matters to them is crucial to me. I've always been fascinated by the human body, and I especially enjoy helping children and their families. In pediatrics, I make sure to talk with both the child and their family, ensuring everyone feels heard. People often tell me they appreciate my positive attitude and that I'm a good listener. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing families feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to provide care that makes patients feel safe, respected, and well-cared for.
