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.Medical School / Education

Dr. Pepka is the best! My child has been in her care since birth. She's always positive and upbeat. She listens to any concerns we may have and takes the time to explain things well. The care she provides is genuine and visits with her are always pleasant.
So blessed to have Dr Pepka as our son's pediatrician, we love her!
Dr. Pepka is amazing. She's the best at her job. I have a very fearful toddler who was very resistant. She didn't want to be touched, get measured and was crying at the beginning of her 2.5 years visit. By the time Dr. Pepka was finished she was chatting away and very relaxed. Dr. Pepka was able to get her correct measurements. Couldn't ask for a better pediatrician for my kids.
Dr. Pepka is an amazing Dr. and we have been coming to her since our boys were born. We absolutely adore and respect Dr. Pepkas professionalism. But we love that we feel confident and comfortable speaking with her. We love her.
Dr. Pepka always advocates for my son and all his complex medical needs.
We are so thankful for pepka! There's a possibility we might move a hour plus away and even then we will still be seeing her because she's the best.
Dr Pepka is kind, knowledgeable, and has a good bedside manner. She is extremely well suited to Pediatrics.
Dr. Lisa is wonderful :)
Dr. Pepka is the best pediatrician in the Phoenix area. She takes really good care of my kids. She makes me feel comfortable, and I can trust that she's doing what's best for them.
Dr. Lisa Pepka provides the most compassionate care towards our daughter who is on the spectrum. It is clear she cares deeply about our daughter's well-being. We find Dr, Pepka to be engaged, taking time to explain everything clearly, ensuring we understand my husband and I understand any treatment plan that is put in place. We consider her a trusted advisor, and a partner as we navigate care.
Dr. Lisa is truly amazing and we are thankful to have her as our family pediatrician.
DR. Lisa Pepka is fantastic. I have followed her from her practice with her Dad to Phoenix Children's Pediatrics. I have tried other pediatricians for my 3 children over the last 11 years but non have given me the comfort and confidence in their Pediatric skills like Dr.Lisa.
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.
Fantastic experience with a physician. Honestly, probably one of the best! She took her time and was so personable. We just absolutely love Dr Pepka!

Dr pepka came personally recommended by my obgyn who I LOVE and tell all my friends to go to so it makes sense that we LOVE Pepka too- she does so well with my little man and I couldn't be more confident in the knowledge she shares with us and I couldn't be more grateful with how much easier she's made the process of being a first time mom.
