Molly M. Matthews, PNP, knows the impact nurses and doctors can have on a young patient. Her time as a patient herself at Phoenix Children's inspired her to become a nurse, and later a pediatric nurse practitioner. She wanted to give back, "The care I received sparked hope that I could also give impactful patient care," Molly says.

Molly specializes in pain management, using a variety of treatments - physical therapy, exercise, nutrition, psychology, family involvement and medications - to reduce pain and improve function. She's passionate about helping children with pain return to the daily life and activities they love.

When she's not working, Molly loves spending time with her family, vacationing, riding bikes, swimming and baking.
