Meet Dr. Candace Gamble

Genetics is not just about testing. It's about championing our differences. I have a passion for helping families find answers so they can feel empowered to be the best advocate possible for their child. I also am happy to be able to serve my patients and to stand alongside the families in their journey.

I became interested in genetics during general pediatric residency and knew that I had to do both. So I transitioned to become both a pediatrician and a medical geneticist. I have a special interest in skeletal dysplasias and have completed research in achondroplasia and pseudoachodroplasia.

When I'm not seeing patients I enjoy coaching future medical doctors and sports of all levels! Baseball and basketball are my favorites.

As a mother, I know how precious your children are to you. I’ve also learned what it means to give and receive grace in this crazy thing we call life. These things help guide my interactions with patients and their families. – Dr. Candace Gamble

    We did not get into Cooks until about January 2025. After several months of dealing with some type of issue with our son. Once we started going to Cooks the doctors and staff have been a blessing to our family. At first things seemed to move quickly and at some point we were overwhelmed but every staff member from the doctors, nurses, cafeteria staff, lab, and even the hair stylist made our family and our son comfortable to be there. We now have some answers and are working to manage our son's health issues. Our family cannot express how grateful we are for everyone at Cooks. We tell everyone that if the need amazing care for their child. Go to Cooks.

    Telemedicine has been so helpful. Since our son has so many doctor appointments, it's nice this is an option. Especially for families like ours that do not live near Cook Children's Hospital.
