Charisse Carter, DO

Originally from Miami, Dr. Horton came to Norfolk for her residency at CHKD. She fell in love with pediatric medicine during medical school when she discovered the unique role a pediatrician can play in a child's life. She strives to provide the best care for the children and families she has the privilege of treating.

Dr. Mitchell arrived at Eastern Virginia Medical School and CHKD in 1992, joining the fledgling Center for Pediatric Research. He advanced to the academic rank of professor of Pediatrics at EVMS in 2006. After 12 challenging and exciting years in full-time academics conducting research on infectious diarrhea and pediatric immunizations, he returned to his origins of providing general pediatric care and loves seeing patients every day. He is the medical director for the 18 practices in the Children’s Medical Group, a role he has served since 2014. This role provides clinical leadership for strategic planning, quality improvement, community relations and program development.

DeAnnah Jordan was born and raised in Johnstown, Penn. After she completed medical school in Philadelphia, CHKD was her first choice to complete her residency in pediatrics. She admired CHKD's dedication to providing the best care for children and appreciated the diverse patient population it served. Dr. Jordan believes that communication is the key to a great relationship with her patients and their families. She encourages open and honest conversations at every visit. One of the most rewarding parts of being a pediatrician to Dr. Jordan is being able to care for patients from birth to the beginning of adulthood.
