Dr. Christine Houlihan is a developmental pediatric specialist at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk, Virginia. Dr. Houlihan earned her medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed her residency at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine.

During medical school, Dr. Pang elected to focus on pediatrics because she found herself smiling and laughing with kids because they are so hopeful and curious, even when they are having a bad day. She eventually gravitated towards critical care medicine because she enjoyed the scientific rigor and clinical vigilance required to take care of the sickest kids in need of immediate medical attention and around-the-clock monitoring. She also feels reward in guiding and supporting families in crisis and believes the resilience of both her patients and their families motivates her to provide the best care in all situations.
