About Lisa M. Pepka, MD

Growing up, Lisa M. Pepka, MD, had an up-close look at the life of a hardworking pediatrician, thanks to her dad. She also helped care for her grandmother, who had cancer. Going with her grandmother to doctor visits "inspired me to go into medicine," Dr. Pepka says.

Dr. Pepka is an Arizona native. She attended medical school at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and completed her residency at Phoenix Children's Hospital/Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix.

The collaborative spirit among providers drew Dr. Pepka to Phoenix Children's. "I wanted to work in a place that puts kids first," she says.

Dr. Pepka provides primary care and specializes in caring for patients with special needs. She values the unique opportunity to be part of a family's life.

When not caring for patients, Dr. Pepka enjoys spending time with her extended family, including her dog. She loves spending time outdoors and hiking. An avid football fan, she is a longtime Cardinals season ticket holder.

We have been seeing Dr. Lisa Pepka since my children were born'_my oldest is now 9, and my youngest is 4. Dr. Pepka is truly an amazing and knowledgeable provider. She has always been incredibly attentive and thorough during every visit, and her caring approach makes my kids feel comfortable and safe. Whether it's routine check-ups or addressing concerns, she takes the time to listen and provide thoughtful guidance. We absolutely love her, and I couldn't recommend her enough for anyone looking for a pediatrician who genuinely cares about her patients.

We love Dr. Lisa Pepka. All of our children see her and she always shows the most care and respect. She's very knowledgeable and explains things in the best way that way you can actually understand what is going on. In my opinion she's the best Dr.

From the moment you walk into the office, it's very clean. It smells clean. The front office girls are always so friendly. They smile at us right away, get us checked in right away. And everybody from when we go to the back is also very sweet and very patient with my kids. I've been seeing Dr. Lisa for, I mean, since 2018. And I will, I currently drive an hour to go see her because I will not change providers. She is the best and I will never go anywhere else in my life.
