OUR STORY

“It is not about what you leave for the children that counts, it’s what you leave in them.” This true depiction of what a legacy means to Dr. Kris and the staff members of KION Pediatrics sets the tone for the cornerstone of the practice.



At KION Pediatrics, it’s about connecting, passion, and service. There’s a synergy that is created between your family, your child and Dr. Kris and he is as passionate about your kids as he is about his own. The staff at KION are steadfast in the belief that service is the seed that is required to be planted in order to manifest the harvest of success. What better way of starting to change the health, mindset, and well-being of a generation, a nation, and of a world, than starting with our children - the leaders of our future.


We firmly believe that every child has a gift that is needed to advance the generations to come. If we can see to the wellness of a KION Kid, then we have realized our dream and played a small role in the advancement of our civilization. Dr. Kris has dedicated his life to achieving this and many more goals. We’d love to chat with you even if you are not yet a parent, or are expecting your very own blessing. You will soon come to realize, as many before you, that a KION Kid today will produce a healthy leader tomorrow.

Dr. Kris Nwokeji

Physician

Dr. Kris Nwokeji

I’m excited about the chance to be in partnership with the parents and caregivers in the management and wellness of their children. Wellness to me means a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. As regarding sickness, I try to look outside the box when a patient comes through my doors. I consider your normal illness, but I also evaluate for the least likely situation and the worst-case scenario.

Kris is a great doctor. I don’t just say it because he’s my husband, but he is truly awesome at what he does.

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to find a place where my love for medicine, pediatrics, and community can unite, and I have found that at KION Pediatrics. As a Primary Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, I have the pleasure to champion children through every stage of development from infancy through young adulthood. There is such joy in becoming a resource for families through developmental milestones like learning to walk and talk to every sickness and broken bone! I love KION pediatrics because it allows me to instill health and hope to the sweetest population there is, our kids!

My dedication to KION Pediatrics is bar none. During Snowmegeddon 2021 I drove uphill to the clinic and spent the day living on fruit snacks and pouring my soul into the one patient that kept their appointment. I love my job and would do it again in a heartbeat to keep my #KIONkids healthy and #KIONstrong

Caring for children has always been a passion of mine. From my time as a NICU nurse caring for them at their earliest stage of life to being a Pediatric Nurse Practioner and getting to watch them grow on their journey to adulthood, I have loved it all. I feel privileged to be able to help them through any difficulties on their journey. At KION Pediatrics, I get to live my dream daily as I watch my kiddos grow, thrive, heal, and always leave smiling. I am blessed to work somewhere where the patient truly comes first and that is the mission of KION Pediatrics.

As a child, I knew I wanted to enter the medical profession almost as soon as I was able to understand the concept of medicine. Out of nursing school, it did not take me long to realize that my passion was pediatrics. I am a firm believer that in order to be happy and successful, you need to have a job that you love what you do. This ideology is what motivates me to thrive at KION. I take pride in everything I do here and look forward to caring for all KION kids now and in the future.

I have been a nurse for little over 9 years now and have worked the majority of that in pediatrics. I worked with Dr. Kris before KION and now I have the privilege of being part of the KION family! I love coming to work and seeing all the little kids and watching babies grow from infants to young men and women. All of the providers and staff at KION pediatrics are amazing and like family to me!
