Kate McCracken, MD, Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology

“So grateful for Dr. McCracken and that she is part of the team caring for our complex little girl. I also appreciate the webinars she has done to help educate families like ours.”

Stephen Kirkby, MD, Pulmonology

“Dr. Kirkby is one of the best! My husband wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Dr. Kirkby and the Nationwide Children’s Cystic Fibrosis care team. We are forever grateful!”
