Kayla Patton, PNP, is a licensed pediatric nurse practitioner who provides care for common ear, nose and throat conditions in children as well as education for families about ENT issues through the Children’s Specialty Center.

She brings more than a decade of nursing experience to her practice, and the joy she found working with children and families guided her to becoming an advanced practice provider. Kayla’s care philosophy centers on providing compassionate, family-centered treatment that combines clinical excellence with clear communication and trust building. She values the energy, resilience and honesty that children bring to every interaction. As a nurse practitioner, she finds great reward in helping kids feel safe and supported in vulnerable moments and watching them grow stronger with time.

Kayla and her husband have three boys — who are very involved in youth sports — and two dogs. When she’s not crafting or cheering on her kids, she enjoys boating and camping with her family.
