About
Bio
Dr Holly lived in Wisconsin for many years, moved to Illinois a little over 16 years ago to provide pediatric care to underserved areas of Illinois, a special calling she had at that point in her career. In 2012 she opened her own clinic, Pediatric Providers of Danville. That clinic closed in 2019 after
Dr Holly had her own health problems. She is a very family oriented pediatrician, with four children of her own and 5 grandchildren. She is a big kid at heart, from coloring pictures to watching cartoons in her waiting room with them. She's even been know to dress up for Halloween - who was that big snowman who listened to my heart?? She has a special interest in kids with behavioral problems, as well as the usual pediatric ills. She retired after losing her left leg in 2020.
