Kenneth Justin Naylor, MD

My role as a child's pediatrician is to be that child's health advocate, which involves forming a partnership with the child's parents and/or other important figures in his/her life. My approach to pediatric care includes an honest and open approach versus an authoritative one. I employ evidence-based medicine when I make recommendations for pediatric care including prescribing medications, ordering tests and utilizing referral services. However, I feel that medical care should be individualized as much as possible to meet the specific needs of the patient and family. I feel very strongly about following the immunization recommendations that are reviewed and updated yearly by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

It was always my dream to practice medicine and raise my family in the same area where my husband and I grew up. I enjoy making a difference in the lives of the people in my community.
