About
Dr. Meagan Peek grew up in Glasgow, KY and traces her interest in medicine back to middle school. Her love for pediatrics took shape in high school, where she taught piano lessons to elementary-aged children. She completed both her undergraduate and medical degrees at the University of Louisville, then finished her pediatric residency at Norton Children's Hospital in 2014. She went on to complete a pediatric cardiology fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis in 2017.
After the fellowship, Dr. Peek practiced as an outpatient and fetal pediatric cardiologist at Akron Children's Hospital and later at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Her experience navigating the healthcare system as the mother of two medically complex children shaped her decision to build a different kind of practice. She views every visit as serving two patients: the child and the parent. She works to address clinical needs alongside the questions and worries parents carry into the room. One of her favorite parts of pediatrics is watching children grow and building lasting relationships with families over time. Outside the office, she spends time with her husband, two young children, and French bulldog. She plays piano and sings in both the vocal and handbell choirs at her church.
