Kelly Lindsey, M.D.
Board certified by the American Academy of Pediatrics in pediatric medicine, Dr. Lindsey received her medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. She completed a three-year pediatric residency at the USAF Medical Center Keesler. She served in the Air Force as Chief of Pediatrics in Mississippi, Missouri, Texas, and California. Those
who practice in pediatrics the specialty concerned with the health of infants,
children, and adolescents will tell you there is no more rewarding specialty in
all of medicine. Today’s
pediatricians put utmost emphasis on preventive healthcare. Childhood killers
such as diphtheria, meningitis and bacterial pneumonia are less threatening due
to the advent of highly effective immunizations and antibiotics. More energy is
put into ensuring the growth and development of healthy children and in
maintaining their health as they mature into young adults. The ideal way to begin your relationship with your child’s pediatrician is to schedule a prenatal visit. Dr. Lindsey does not charge expectant parents for this essential appointment. Dr. Lindsey is available to you 24 hours a day
if your child has a medical emergency. Her staff and nurses have been trained to
help callers decide if a child needs an appointment; her nurses can answer many
of your questions as well. An informed patient is a
more satisfied patient. Your AMS pediatrician believes in explaining your child’s condition in detail, providing literature on his or her illness or treatment, and generally making certain that you understand the recommended care. Your questions are always welcome, and either Dr. Lindsey or her well-trained staff will supply you with the answers you need. We’re here when you need us. We always try to schedule appointments that are convenient for you.
Office hours are 8:30am – 4:30pm Monday through Friday. If you are unable to
keep a scheduled appointment, please notify us If your child has an urgent problem during office hours, call us and we will usually be able to work you in to the day’s schedule. During evenings, weekends or holidays, for urgent problems call the office at (618) 463-8632 or the Pediatric After Hours Service at (888) 890-0252. They will quickly relay your message to us.
