Dr. Kristen Stanley

Hi! And welcome. I’m Dr. Kristen Stanley, a board-certified pediatrician who believes the best care starts with listening. Every child is unique, and a quality partnership between parents and their pediatrician is so valuable. Taking the time to understand each family’s concerns, answer questions thoughtfully, and collaborate in decision-making is one of the most rewarding parts of my job - my hope is that every family leaves feeling heard, informed, and confident in their child’s care. 

My approach to pediatrics is holistic, considering not only a child’s physical health, but also their nutrition, development, environment, and the many factors that influence lifelong wellness. Children are remarkably resilient, and my aim is to support the body’s natural ability to heal while using medications thoughtfully, when truly needed. Whether I’m caring for a healthy newborn, helping a family navigate more complex medical concerns, or educating soon-to-be parents, I’m committed to providing compassionate, personalized care and advocating for my patients every step of the way. 

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Trinity University before receiving my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Midwestern University’s Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed my pediatric residency at Phoenix Children’s Hospital/Maricopa Medical Center and am board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. For the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children and families in Arizona.
