Highlights
Meet Behavioral Pediatrician Katheryn Frazier, MD
Hi, I'm Katheryn Frazier, a developmental behavioral pediatrician here at UVA Children's. I see children with a wide variety of developmental concerns, such as speech delay, motor delay, or evaluations for things like autism, ADHD or intellectual disability. So my interest in medicine developed at an early age. Both of my parents worked in our local hospital so I was surrounded by nurses and doctors and ancillary staff. My older brother has autism and intellectual disability. I have other family members who have developmental issues. And really I could understand what these families were going through and decided that this was my true home, was to help them. When a child and their family comes to see us in clinic, our appointments in developmental pediatrics tend to be a lot longer in length. And during that time, we really get to know both the child and their family. And it just really is a source of joy for me to be able to play with children all day long, but also take some of the pressure off of an appointment. I feel that children and their families really benefit from coming to UVA Children's to seek care for their child, because we are such a tight-knit group of physicians across all pediatric departments. And so we're really able to keep up with the latest treatments, provide access to research opportunities for them and their family. The ability to collaborate across grounds within UVA Children's is the most special thing about UVA Children's.
