Life can get busy and you've got enough on your plate. Sometimes things happen when the doctor's office is closed, and you shouldn't have to be a medical expert to take care of your child. At Pirate Pediatrics, we get it.
With our convenient choices of early morning walk-in, same day appointments and virtual visits, we'll make sure your child's health and well-being are well taken care of.
Over the years, I've spoken with families who express frustration with their healthcare experience. They describe feeling rushed, unheard, and like a name on a list.
When I first started my career, I felt the same. I became a doctor because I wanted to help families, to genuinely know them, and to be there for them when they needed it most.
I dreamed of providing healthcare where parents could feel heard, valued, and supported. In my first job, it was tough to hear I would not know my patients’ names. But it didn't have to be that way! After praying and talking with some wise people, I decided to create a special kind of healthcare just for families like yours.
We’re here to walk alongside you on this journey. You are not alone.
We're problem solvers; we won't stop until we find the answers.
We partner with you to ensure your child gets the best care possible.
We believe in being honest and trustworthy in all we do.
We offer choices so you can focus on what matters. Whether it's a same-day visit, a scheduled appointment, in-person or online, it's up to you.
Our values guide us in caring for your children and supporting you as parents:

Hi, there! I’m Dr. Morgan; a mother, a wife, a pediatrician, and an entrepreneur. After working in other pediatric settings, I opened the doors to Pirate Pediatrics in 2012 to provide a one-of-a-kind patient experience where families like you feel heard, valued and are taken care of with compassion and superb quality.
Let’s face it…life is hard. I had a baby and instantly my world changed. I realized this tiny human was now completely dependent upon me. To start, breastfeeding was challenging, but with persistence it became the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. Spoiler alert…it is not like the magazines portray on day one. Many things are like this, but know you are not alone out there. My mission is to help you navigate parenthood and to empower you to become the parent you have always dreamed.
When I am not working with families, you may find me learning Spanish, reading, gardening, eating fish tacos or jumping in the waves at the beach with my family.
“Being a pediatrician is the best! Supporting families and holding miracles has exceeded my wildest dreams. Thank you for trusting me to care for your children and for blessing me with incredible relationships over the years!”

EDUCATION
SPECIAL MEDICAL INTERESTS
Growing up, my family had a wonderful relationship with our pediatrician and that definitely had an impact on my pursuit of a career in medicine. I had taught 2-year-old and 3-year-old Sunday School for 10 years, grew up working with kids, and knew going into medical school that I wanted to specialize in pediatrics!
Learning to practice medicine in Appalachia definitely shaped who I am as a person and what I want my career to look like. I am passionate about providing education, pursuing early intervention, and get so much joy from following kiddos as they grow. I want to provide quality compassionate care to patients and their families to set up children for a successful, healthy life.

My approach to therapy is child-centered. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques to foster resilience, growth, and emotional well-being in young clients. I believe that each child is unique and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I work collaboratively with children and their families to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their individual needs.
My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, trauma, and ADHD. I enjoy implementing art and play therapy techniques into sessions.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, going to the beach, hiking in the mountains, and nature photography.
