About
Dr. Holly Sparks earned her DO from NOVA Southeastern College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She then completed her pediatric residency at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. Shortly after finishing residency, she married her medical school sweetheart, Andrew, and spent several years in San Diego while he served in the United States Navy. She settled in Franklin, TN in 2015 and joined Vanderbilt Children's Hospital to work in their After Hours Clinics.
Dr. Sparks brings 15 years of experience across outpatient pediatric clinical settings and pediatric urgent care. She holds board certification in Pediatrics and founded LMNO Pediatrics to build the kind of long-term relationships with families that she finds most meaningful. Motherhood has shaped her clinical approach as profoundly as her training. She feels passionate about caring for children with special needs, multiples, large families, and those whose parents prefer natural health care or alternative vaccine scheduling. Her greatest professional goal is for a former patient to grow up, become a parent, and bring their own child to her.
