Dr. Kristen Newsom studied at Tulane University School of Medicine. Her father and grandfather were family practitioners and she loved seeing how her father and grandfather cared for patients. She chose family medicine to help care for people of all ages and make a meaningful impact with patients. Dr. Newsom enjoys caring for whole families, from kids to grandparents and addressing their health needs holistically, including both physical and mental health to support overall wellbeing. In her free time, she likes doing art, sculpture, and home projects, especially creating new pieces from old furniture.
