Dr. Elizabeth Kurowski, MD
I am Dr. Elizabeth Kurowski, a board certified Pediatrician, Lifestyle Medicine certified physician, Physician Lactation Consultant, and a proud mom of 4 kids ranging from ages 6-22 years old with my husband Tim. I love being a pediatrician and helping kids Thrive from birth to adulthood. It is truly a magical and rewarding experience. When I am not being a doctor, I am spending time with my family, traveling to new places, finding new state parks to hike and bike, or reading a good book.
I previously worked in a large fee-for-service practice for 9 years and realized that healthcare could be better and our youngest deserve the absolute best healthcare. I have watched new parents struggle in those first few months and knew that I wanted to not only be able to spend more time with them to answer their questions but also to be a good support system during their most blessed but often difficult period of parenthood. In-home newborn visits are an awesome way to accomplish that and in today's medical landscape, direct primary care (DPC) is the best way for me to do that. As I watched parents trying to get into the clinic for a well visit, sick visit or follow up and saw a wait time of 6 months, I knew something had to change. In the typical insurance based practices (fee-for-service), parents were struggling, a child's health would deteriorate and we were always running to "fix" a problem rather than "prevent" it. Now, with DPC, I have the chance to be a more compassionate and comprehensive doctor, focusing solely on the child and family and not worrying about insurance companies or the big corporations measures of health. At Thrive Pediatrics, the goal is not just to survive but to thrive and encourage the best health for every child from birth to young adulthood.
Join me and be a part of the Thrive family today and see what great healthcare looks like for you and your family!
All the Best,
Dr. Elizabeth Kurowski, MD
