Board-certified pediatricians
The pediatricians behind uplitMD.
Every physician on uplitMD is a practicing, board-certified pediatrician — bringing real clinical experience and evidence-based insight to the moments new parents face from late pregnancy through your baby's first year.
Pediatrician & mom · Kansas City
Natasha Burgert, MD
Dr. Natasha is the kind of doctor parents connect with quickly. Families gravitate to her segments on sleep struggles, first fevers, and those 2 a.m. “is this normal?” questions — because she explains things with steady, reassuring clarity.
She is known for helping parents feel calmer and more confident when things feel overwhelming. She is also a mom of two, married to a pediatrician, so conversations about kids, health, and parenting are never far from home.
Dr. Natasha recently authored Managing Childhood Anxiety For Dummies and shares regularly with a large online community — all with the same mission she brings to uplitMD: helping parents feel informed, capable, and less alone.
Pediatrician & dad · Stanford Children's
Alok Patel, MD
Dr. Alok is a pediatric hospitalist at Stanford Children's Health who brings warmth, humor, and real-world clarity to parenting and child health. He is the kind of doctor who makes complicated topics feel simple and doable.
On uplitMD, parents come to him for practical takes on safety, development, and the “should I worry about this?” questions. He explains things in a way that feels calm, human, and easy to trust.
You may recognize him from ABC News, or as co-host of the companion podcast to HBO's The Pitt. He is also a husband and a proud girl dad, so the parenting lens is always personal.
Pediatrician & mom · Starkville, MS
Brittany Odom, MD
Dr. Brittany cares for families every day and shares approachable, real-world guidance with parents online. She is also the mom of a toddler, so the pace, unpredictability, and joy of early parenting are part of her daily life — not just her clinical work.
On uplitMD she brings a steady, practical voice to the moments parents wrestle with most: feeding decisions, food allergies, first illnesses, and the everyday curveballs that don't come with a manual. Her segments feel like a conversation with a doctor who truly gets it.
Parents appreciate how she balances medical expertise with real-life parenting perspective. She meets families where they are, keeps things clear and grounded, and helps them feel capable as they learn their own rhythm at home.
