She is board-certified in pediatrics. With six years’ experience in her field, Dr. Ochsner is qualified to assess a diverse range of medical needs, including asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression and more. Having seen the devasting consequences that can occur from asthma, she focuses on educating her asthma patients on how to manage their medication and live healthy, active lives. When it comes to ADHD, Dr. Ochsner loves to see her patients’ self-esteem improve when their therapeutic medication is successful, and they are able to focus in the classroom and achieve their goals. She will also see patients for well-checks, concentrating on educating families about healthy eating and exercising. “When parents or guardians bring their sick child into the clinic, it is a crisis in their life,” Dr. Ochsner said. “My priority is to help the patient and their family understand what is happening and support them through the treatment process.” In her free time, Dr. Ochsner enjoys playing the piano, hiking, backpacking, reading and listening to music.
