About Us
 Kristie R. Chandler, MD, FAAP
Dr. Chandler has been practicing general pediatrics in Montgomery County since moving to The Woodlands in 1997. She has witnessed many changes as our population has increased, patient needs have expanded, and medical services have advanced at record pace.

She completed her pediatrics internship and residency at Children’s Medical Center of Dallas. Throughout her 12 years living in The Woodlands, Dr. Chandler has served the medical community heading numerous hospital pediatric committees. Se habla español.
