Hi, my name is Tiffany Wright. I'm a pediatric surgeon at Norton Children's Hospital.

I chose pediatric surgery because I loved surgery. And pediatric surgery particularly has a wide breadth of different operations and procedures. We take care of patients from the tiniest little premature babies, all the way up to teenagers with more adult like problems.

It's hard to have a kid that's sick in the ICU. And so, I enjoy spending time talking to the families, kind of walking them through what's going on with their baby. I think it's really rewarding to take care of a baby that has some terrible defect that otherwise without surgical intervention might not make it. And then, get to see the kid grow up, we get Christmas cards and parents keep in touch with us, even if they don't need follow up anymore, to see how the kids are kind of growing, and surviving and thriving.

I'm originally from a small town in Western Kentucky. I've lived most of my life in Kentucky. I went to medical school and general surgery residency at the University of Kentucky. And then, I spent some time in Michigan doing some extra training in fetal surgery and surgical critical care. And then, came back to Louisville to do my formal pediatric surgery fellowship. I loved Louisville, loved Norton Children's Hospital, and decided to stay here as faculty.

I like to spend a lot of time with my nieces and nephew. They live in Lexington. And I have two dogs that I like to take to the park and play with, hang out with my family.
