Heather P. Christianson, MD, FAAP

I have been a general pediatrician at Pediatrics Plus since 1999. My husband, Kory, and I have three children - Hanna, Nick and Heidi. I enjoy practicing pediatrics at Peds Plus mostly because of the close relationships that I've been able to form with the children and families over the years. Sharing the ups and downs of raising children with them is very rewarding and special to me. In my free time I enjoy bargain shopping, reading and I am an avid Nebraska Cornhuskers football fan.
