About Kristen Prescott MD
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.

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.
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.
We love Dr.prescott she has been seeing my daughter since she was born and has been amazing
Amazing team. Also I found out the office is open Saturdays!!!! Please never change this
My daughter was newly sick and was able to get an appointment in the morning! Everyone was very kind and patient with my daughter. I would recommend!!!
My son was seen on a Saturday. I was so happy that the office offered Saturday sick visits. He was seen in a timely manner and was greeted warmly by all office staff. Thank you for all that you do.
So my daughter is 17 years old and she would love it if there was not little kid music playing out in the lobby and if it had a little teenager aspect to the lobby in addition to the young child.
Everyone was very attentive and made it a quick easy and pleasant experience.
