Dr. Lisa Godfrey, MD, FAAP

Hello! I’m Dr. Godfrey, and I am honored to be a part of the Leawood Pediatrics team, where I have the privilege of providing care for your children. My journey in medicine began at Saint Louis University, where I earned a degree in Biology, followed by my medical education at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. After graduating, I moved to Kansas City and completed my Pediatric residency at Children’s Mercy Hospital, where I developed a strong foundation in pediatric care.

Before joining Leawood Pediatrics in the Spring of 2023, I spent several years working in the Children’s Mercy Emergency Room. This experience ignited my passion for acute care medicine and helped me develop expertise in diagnosing and managing a wide range of illnesses and conditions. At Leawood Pediatrics, I work in our Same Day Sick Clinic, using these skills to care for your children during their sick visits.

On a personal note, I live in Kansas City with my partner and our German Shepherd, Atticus. We love spending time with our nieces and nephews, traveling, hiking, and exploring the local Kansas City food scene, particularly trying out new restaurants and coffee shops. I’m also a huge sports fan and enjoy watching the Chiefs, Royals, and the Indiana Fever. Originally from Saint Louis, I cherish visiting my family whenever I can.

Although it’s never fun to have to go to the doctor when feeling sick, I am committed to providing compassionate, top-notch care for your children.
