Dr. Prescott earned her Bachelor of Arts degree, Magna Cum Laude, in Anthropology from Boston Univeristy. She then attended Tufts University School of Medicine, earning her Doctorate of Medicine degree. Dr. Prescott then completed her pediatric residency at INOVA Fairfax Hospital for Children at the University of Virginia. Her clinical interests include general pediatrics and breastfeeding medicine.
Dr. Prescott’s parents told her that by the age of 5, she was talking about wanting to become a baby doctor, and that dream never changed! She loves seeing her patient’s when they are both well and sick, and she strives to get to know her patients and their families throughout all aspects of their medical care.
She loves the continuity of care involved with pediatrics. Pediatrics allows her to provide exceptional care to a baby after birth, continuing on through adolescence. Dr. Prescott’s philosophy of care is centered around a collaborative relationship between patient, family, and doctor. When not at work, Dr. Prescott enjoys spending time with her family and doing outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and long distance running.

Great visit! Dr. Prescott and staff are knowledgeable and caring.
Dr. Prescott was great with our daughter
The nurse we saw was wonderful and so good with my two-year-old and let her help and was just very kind. And the provider, Kristen Prescott, is wonderful, explains things very clearly, answers any questions, and is so kind to my children as well. So it was a very good experience, quick and courteous, no complaints.

Dr. Prescott is the most caring and knowledgeable doctor I have worked with. She creates a positive environment and experience. My child adores her. It's a privilege to have her as my childs pediatrician.
You guys always do a great job making my family feel welcomed as well as having positive attitudes & reassuring us as parents that we are doing a great job with our child.
Provider evaluated my child for no more than 2 minutes. Very poor exam
Every time I call, she always takes my kid. I love that.
The medical assistant was very quick and did not seem to want to hear a lot of issues and just wanted to hurry the visit through as we were a late appointment.
She listened and she didn't charge and she made me feel very comfortable
Dr.Prescott is per usual an amazing doctor, she listens, engages in conversations ask my children if their is anything wrong. The overall experience is excellent.
