Natasha Burgert, MD
Board-Certified Pediatrician
About the doctor
Natasha Burgert, MD is a board-certified pediatrician in Kansas City known for helping parents feel calmer, and more confident when things feel overwhelming.
On uplitMD, Dr. Natasha is the kind of doctor parents connect with quickly. Families gravitate to her videos on sleep struggles, first fevers, and those 2 a.m. “is this normal?” questions because she explains things with steady, reassuring clarity.
She’s also a mom of two and 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 at @kckidsdoc — all with the same mission she brings to uplitMD: helping parents feel informed, capable, and less alone as they raise their kids.

She meets families where they are, keeps things clear and grounded, and helps them feel capable as they learn their own rhythm at home.
