Professional History

Kelly Smerling joined Longwood Pediatrics as the Director of Nursing in 2018 after serving as an officer and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the United States Air Force from 2014-2017.

I am passionate about providing high quality, evidence-based care as part of a devoted, interdisciplinary team. Serving children and their families in times of wellness and vulnerability and having the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with them is what makes primary care pediatrics so appealing to me.
