Victoria Pohl, NP

I am an experienced and Board Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with a dedication to family centered pediatric care. My background is in acute and chronic care management for children.I am passionate about educating parents to be their children’s greatest advocates in addition to preventative medicine improving the long term quality of life of our future adults.

I went into medicine specifically to work in pediatrics. I was always amazed at the resilience of children and loved the idea of approaching medical care from a holistic, family centered point of view. Children are not just small adults. Their medical care is much more specialized and precise. Everything you do to care for them has to be adjusted based on their age, understanding, development stage, and mental health status. To complicate things further, you are not just caring for the child; you have their parents, siblings, guardians, and even pets to consider when making decisions. It is not just the quality of the life of the child, it is also that of the family. I came to understand this all after a few years working in pediatrics. But it was not until I became a mother myself that I could see the gaps in pediatric healthcare. Our current practices are severely lacking in preventative care. The proof is right in front of us and yet there are no advances in improving the long term well being and quality of life for our children. So now, as an experienced nurse practitioner and mother of two, I continue in pediatrics to change healthcare. This field has the potential for innovation, advancing technology, and literal life changing impacts. Assured Pediatrics will do just that.
