Meet Dr. Kristen Taylor
I was raised with an expectation to always be compassionate towards others, and to lead my life with a servant's heart. I've found the greatest joy and sense of purpose in my work helping children with physical and cognitive impairments, enabling them to enjoy their lives to the fullest of their abilities, and enabling them to achieve the highest level of independence that their diagnosis allows. By empowering these children and their families to reach for their goals, I earn the privilege of sharing in their victories.
Cook Children's Pediatric Physiatry allows me to care for physically and cognitively disabled children in a team approach to optimize their complex medical care and functional outcomes. The successes of these children are often the result of a miraculous team of medical providers - including their primary care doctors and many specialties at Cook Children's - as well as each child's unwavering will to continue their fight.
Pediatric Rehabilitation is the specialty where patients and families seek help, with anticipation of enriched quality of life, improved function, and reduced caregiver burden in managing the ever-changing needs of chronically ill and post-traumatic children. The feeling of accomplishment on a child's face after working so hard over so many weeks and years brightens my day, pushing me to continue fighting for what is best for my patients and their families.

My child sees three providers in the orthopedic clinic (one comes from nuero) when he visits. It always amazes me how well coordinated the visits are. We are able to see all three doctors, and their amazing medical team, in less than 3 hours. Probably closer to 2 hours honestly. This team has been providing the BEST care for my son for 10 years (WOW, that's crazy to think about) now. We drive from Oklahoma- that's how much we love these guys, and the whole experience. Registration staff Is great as well. Everyone in this department always has a smile on their face, and you can tell they love their jobs. Its just a great atmosphere for kids. Mine tends to go in nervous. He get anxious at any appt., but they are great about easing that as soon as we get there. Pizza party for these guys!!

I would like to recognize Dr. Taylor for preparing for my child's visit. When she entered the room, she already knew, In depth, my daughter's condition and other family dynamics. Dr. Taylor disclosed a wealth of information regarding the support needed. Not only did she give information, she also was actionable with organizing future appointments(therapies) and prescriptions. I now feel like my child will be able to get what she needs!

I love the care my son gets from Dr. Taylor. I can have a question about his care that may seem too simple, but she makes it seem important and always has a suggestion or solution. Having a child with special needs is stressful and chaotic mostly when it comes to medical needs. Dr. Taylor is fabulous with coordinating all his med, therapy, physical, nutritional, emotional s needs, making life easier for us. I will always go out of my way to make one of her appointments, even if I can't get it scheduled with his other doctor's there at Cook Children's. We live 6 hours away, so this is saying a lot!
