Brentwood Pediatric Care Providers
Dr Jill Kelly MD
Dr. Jill is a board-certified pediatrician with approximately 20 years of experience delivering Pediatric medicine and services in both private practice and urgent care venues. She completed her medical school training in The Honors Program in Medical Education at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago IL, a top 20 medical school. She completed her Pediatric residency at Baylor College of Medicine’s Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston TX, a top 10 pediatric residency program.
Dr. Jill was an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics working in the Vanderbilt Children’s After-Hours Clinic in Brentwood when she first moved to the Nashville area. She then decided to return to private practice and open Brentwood Pediatric Care. Dr. Jill wanted to get back to her first love in medicine – providing general pediatric care to patients where she can watch them grow through the years while establishing long-standing relationships with the patients and their families.
Dr. Jill, her husband John, and two sons, Jack and Josh, moved from the Chicago area to Brentwood in the Summer of 2019. Prior to Chicago, John and Jill lived in the Dallas area. She enjoys spending time with family and friends. Dr. Jill loves to entertain and host parties and gatherings for friends to enjoy food and fun times together. She enjoys cooking for her family and baking with her boys. Dr. Jill loves to be around the water and swimming. She loves to ski and snowboard in the winter, boat and wakeboard in the summer, as well as just hang out on summer nights by our pool with our friends. Dr. Jill also enjoys watching her sons play soccer and basketball in the local Williamson county sport leagues. Her number one passion is to serve God and strives to do that daily by serving others.
Christina Willis, PNP
Christina Willis is a certified pediatric Nurse Practitioner with approximately 18 years of experience in pediatric outpatient care. She completed her Masters Degree at Marquette University school of nursing in Milwaukee, WI and is certified through the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board. Christina is also a certified Lactation Specialist and enjoys helping mom’s and babies develop a healthy breastfeeding relationship by performing consults here in the office.
Christina worked with a busy pediatric outpatient practice in the suburbs of Chicago for 16 years prior to moving to the Nashville area with her family in the summer of 2023. Christina lives with her husband and their daughter and they enjoy the outdoors, trips to the Nashville Zoo, watching their daughter play volleyball and ride horses and are actively involved in their church. They lost their second child to pediatric brain cancer in 2015 and are actively involved mentoring other parents and volunteering with organizations at the national level raising awareness and funding. Christina was honored to earn top patient satisfaction scores by the patients and families she cared for in Illinois and truly enjoyed serving children and families during that time. After taking a year off to adjust to the big move, Christina and Dr. Jill met and realized they shared a neat connection having worked at the same place in the Chicago area! Christina missed working with children and families providing compassionate & evidence-based care for newborns through their teen years and joined the Brentwood Pediatric Care team the summer of 2024. Developing trusting collaborative relationships is important to Christina and the rest of the Brentwood Pediatric Care team and she is excited to meet you and your children!
