Kristin Shepherd, M.D. F.A.A.P.
Pediatrics
Dr. Shepherd was born and raised in Rockford, Illinois. She earned her Bachelors Degree at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where she majored in Psychology and minored in Chemistry and Spanish. She received her medical degree from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in 1999 before moving to Phoenix to complete her residency at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
The move became permanent after meeting her husband and planting roots in the northwest valley. Her family quickly grew to include eight children: four stepsons, an adopted nephew, two more sons and one daughter.
Dr. Shepherd has been practicing in Peoria for 25 years and finds deep fulfillment in watching patients grow from infants to children, teens, and young adults, and she is delighted and honored to care for the next generation as fformer patients are bringing in their own babies.
When not in the clinic, Dr. Shepherd enjoys preparing weekend brunch, baking, running, hiking, going to church and exploring national parks with her family.
