Why Pediatrics?

“I’ve always, always, always known I was destined to work with children. From as far back as I can remember I begged my mom to babysit or work in the nursery at church. It wasn’t until I started college that I decided to become a Nurse Practitioner. I wanted to be able to have a relationship with my patients and watch them grow and become successful in life, while helping them with any health issues they might encounter along the way.  Becoming a primary care provider is my dream job and the best way to do what I absolutely LOVE!”

Fun Facts

“I live in Fort Worth with my husband, our son Grant, and our 3 dogs (Jake, Ace, and Marley). I absolutely love to travel and my husband and I are both devoted foodies. My favorite food would have to be tacos followed by anything sweet!  I have also recently discovered a love of gardening; I enjoy taking care of my little plants and watching them grow. ”

"We had an incredible experience with the whole staff at MD Pediatric Associates. Everyone was so warm, patient, professional and willing to help (even at the end of the day). They actively listened to our concerns and came up with solutions or next steps to resolve them. I was throughly impressed with the care. We loved Dr Shumate, she was so compassionate and caring."
