I became a physician – in particular a pediatrician – to assist in fostering our future generations toward achieving their highest potential. I believe optimal health is a balance of physical, mental and emotional well being. As a doctor, my aim is to support a patient and their family in all aspects of staying healthy, which includes a bigger vision than simply treating illness and relieving symptoms. I enjoy supporting patients and families in making healthy choices in diet and exercise, addressing any underlying mental health issues, and instill trust in my role as their ally in creating and sustaining overall good health. When I am not working, I love spending time with my wife, three children and two dogs, and often explore the many outdoor natural treasures of our beautiful region.

I have already recommended my son's doctor to coworkers because I think he is great. Dr. Reed listens to us and takes our concerns and offers suggestions and answers. Dr. Reed respects our decisions but will always give his professional opinion kindly and we respect that as well. We have never had a bad experience with Dr. Reed.
