About
Dr. Emily Walkey is a board-certified pediatrician and the founder of Little Flower Pediatrics. She holds dual board certification in pediatrics and breastfeeding/lactation medicine. She also carries the IBCLC credential, making her one of a small number of physicians with that combination. Her fellowship in pediatric integrative medicine shaped her prevention-focused, whole-child approach to care.
Dr. Walkey treats a wide range of pediatric conditions, including eczema, food allergies, asthma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and chronic abdominal pain. She has specialized training in tongue and lip tie assessment and performs frenectomies using the LightScalpel CO2 laser. Her lactation medicine practice covers low milk supply, mastitis, latch difficulties, and recurrent clogged ducts, including in-office therapeutic ultrasound. She has made home visits for newborn wellness checks throughout her career, and she brings that same personal commitment to every patient relationship. She genuinely worries about her kids on nights, weekends, and vacations alike.
