Families searching for a pediatric endocrinologist in Nashville, Franklin, or Brentwood often discover long wait times, rushed appointments, and limited access at large hospital systems. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Dr. Kelli Davis, a Vanderbilt-trained pediatric endocrinologist, has joined Life Pediatric Endocrinology to bring world-class expertise directly to families in Middle Tennessee.
Many parents begin their search with Vanderbilt pediatric endocrinology because it’s a well-known name in Middle Tennessee. Families assume that means the best care. But over and over, we hear the same story: long waitlists, rushed 15-minute visits, and little time to truly understand a child’s growth or hormone challenges.
That’s where Dr. Kelli Davis, who trained at Vanderbilt, makes such a difference. She brings the same advanced expertise from her fellowship, but within a model designed for what families actually want — more time, deeper answers, and better results.
Many families come to us after feeling frustrated at large hospital system pediatric endocrinology clinics. They expected world-class care, but instead, they often describe rushed appointments, long waits, and limited answers. Here’s what parents are saying about their experience with Dr. Kelli Davis at Life Pediatric Endocrinology:
“We waited nearly six months to get into Vanderbilt, only to have a 15-minute visit. With Dr. Davis, we finally had the time to ask questions and get a plan we understood.”
“At Vanderbilt, we were told our child was just a late bloomer and that nothing needed to be done. At Life Pediatric Endocrinology, Dr. Davis listened, explained everything in detail, and made us feel like partners in our child’s care.”
“We thought Vanderbilt was the only option after trying another pediatric endocrinologist and still feeling discouraged about our child's development. But Dr. Davis gave us more answers in one visit than we had gotten in years of traditional-based care.”
"If you want a transactional experience, the big-box systems are the best place for you. But if you want a true concierge model—where your family is heard, understood, and every detail is handled with care—then LIFE is where you belong.” — Zach Bradley, President of Life Pediatric Endocrinology
These stories are not unique — they reflect a larger pattern. Families begin at Vanderbilt because of name recognition but quickly realize the hospital system is designed for volume, not personalization. Life Pediatric Endocrinology is the solution: The new standard of expertise in Tennessee, with time, attention, and concierge-level care for your child.
Parents who choose pediatric endocrinology in large hospital settings often end up frustrated — waiting months to be seen and leaving appointments with more questions than answers. Life Pediatric Endocrinology is different. With Dr. Davis, families experience the same high-level training, but with a concierge approach that prioritizes accessibility, compassion, and solutions that last.
Families in Franklin and Brentwood tell us they want the credibility of a Vanderbilt fellowship-trained endocrinologist, but they don’t want to feel like a number in a massive hospital system. Dr. Davis delivers both: the Vanderbilt training and the personalized attention that hospital clinics often lack.
