Choosing the right pediatrician for your child is a significant decision. At Guthrie Doctors, we understand the importance of finding a healthcare provider who is not only knowledgeable and experienced but also genuinely cares for your family’s well-being. Meet Dr. Lisa Guthrie, a dedicated and compassionate pediatrician who has been serving the Fort Worth community for over two decades.
Dr. Guthrie’s journey in medicine began at UT Southwestern Medical School, where she earned her medical degree. Initially drawn to various fields, including pathology and internal medicine, Dr. Guthrie discovered her true calling in pediatrics. This pivotal choice led her to complete her internship and residency at the University of Tennessee at Memphis, affiliated with the renowned Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. This comprehensive training solidified her expertise in general pediatrics and provided her with a strong foundation in child healthcare.
For Dr. Guthrie, pediatrics is more than just treating illnesses; it’s about adopting a holistic approach to medical care. She emphasizes the unique perspective required to understand and address the needs of young patients, considering both the child’s viewpoint and the concerns of their parents. This comprehensive approach allows her to provide tailored care that supports the overall health and development of each child under her care at Guthrie Doctors.
Since moving to Fort Worth in 1997, Dr. Guthrie has witnessed the remarkable growth of the community and has become an integral part of it. Her long tenure in the area has allowed her to build lasting relationships with families, watching a generation of children grow into adulthood. She finds immense joy in seeing former patients return as parents themselves, entrusting the health of their children to her care. This multi-generational connection is a testament to the trust and rapport she establishes with families at Guthrie Doctors.
While Dr. Guthrie is committed to providing comprehensive care for all children, she is particularly adept at diagnosing and managing childhood illnesses. She understands that while most children enjoy good health, serious illnesses can arise. In such situations, Dr. Guthrie prioritizes connecting families with the necessary specialists and resources, ensuring that children receive the best possible care when they need it most. Her role at Guthrie Doctors extends beyond routine check-ups to being a reliable guide for families navigating complex health challenges.
Beyond her professional life at Guthrie Doctors, Dr. Guthrie is deeply rooted in the Fort Worth community. She and her husband, Bill, have raised two daughters, an experience that has enriched her understanding of family dynamics and further shaped her approach to pediatrics. Her personal experiences as a mother enhance her empathy and ability to connect with parents. Dr. Guthrie is also a passionate supporter of the arts, actively involved in Fort Worth’s vibrant music and theater scene. Her commitment extends to volunteer work, including serving on the board and providing medical consultation for Kids Who Care, Inc., a local children’s theater group. This dedication showcases her commitment to the well-being of children beyond the medical office.
Dr. Guthrie’s dedication and excellence in pediatric care have been recognized by her peers and the community. She has been consistently named to Fort Worth Texas Magazine’s “Top Docs” list and Fort Worth Child Magazine’s “Mom Approved Doctor” list for over two decades.
