Building Lasting Connections

I understand how crucial it is to have a healthcare partner who listens, cares, and invests deeply in your child’s well-being. I’m a Board certified general pediatrician in Ridgeland, MS, and mother who understands your worries and questions. I value your time and opinions and empower you with knowledge to nurture your child’s growth – physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Note: To effectively care for your child and allow our providers the opportunity to address all your needs, we limit the number of siblings scheduled for appointments at the same time to no more than two children per office visit.

Comprehensive Care for Teens and Young Adults

We understand that the teenage years are a critical time of growth, both physically and emotionally. Our dedicated team is here to support your teen’s well-being, empowering them to thrive and reach their fullest potential.

At Beanstalk Pediatrics, we provide comprehensive and confidential healthcare services tailored to meet the unique needs of adolescents.

We know that getting your teen or young adult to the doctor can be difficult. Our compassionate approach ensures a safe and comfortable space where our Beanstalk Buddies (ages 13-19) and Beanstalk Young Adults (ages 20-21) can openly discuss their health concerns.

We provide Wellness Visits, Sick Visits, Patient Consultation Sessions, and behavioral health support to address issues like anxiety, depression, stress, nutrition and fitness guidance, and vaccinations. Please see our Adolescent Health FAQ’s for more information and support.

Empowering Solutions For Your Complex Concerns

Get dedicated time with Dr. Barnes-Woods to address, understand, and plan solutions for complex issues about medication, emotions, socialization, learning, family concerns, ADD/ADHD, and other issues. You might already be seeking help for these concerns, or maybe they arose during your well child visit. We schedule Patient Consultation visits so we have ample time for exploration and thoughtful solutions without rushing. Please try to schedule these visits 2-4 weeks in advance if possible because Dr. Barnes-Woods only has space for a few of these each week.
