Kelli Knauer, PNP-C

Kelli Knauer chose pediatrics because of two things she has always carried with her: a love for children and a passion for healthcare. Combining them felt less like a career decision and more like the only path that made sense. Years later, that same sense of purpose is what walks into the exam room with her every single day.

Kelli's care style is compassionate and family-centered. She does not just treat the patient in front of her. She treats the family as a whole because she knows that a child's health and a family's confidence are deeply connected. She takes time at every visit to make sure parents feel seen, heard, and equipped to care for their children between appointments.

One area especially close to her heart is newborn care and breastfeeding support. As a mother who successfully breastfed two of her own children, Kelli brings both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this conversation. She meets new mothers exactly where they are, offering practical guidance, encouragement, and the kind of honest support that only comes from someone who has been there.
