Meet Dr. Kassi Ackerman
For as long as I can remember, there was never any doubt that I wanted to go to medical school and specialize in pediatrics. I have always been committed to caring for children, and in medical school I discovered a passion for a special population within pediatrics, critical care. It is taking care of these strong children and their families that brings me joy, even on the most difficult days. Through my years in training, I have moved around Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and New Mexico and am very excited to be back home caring for the children of DFW. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, two young children and our energetic Border Collie. I'm not sure which is more physically demanding, running around the ICU or chasing two toddlers at home, but I enjoy every minute of both and wouldn't want it any other way.
