About
Dr. Ryan Southard is a board‑certified pediatrician and founder of Expedition Health and Pediatrics. He started this practice to give families the things he believes are often missing in healthcare today: time, trust, and truly personalized care. His approach to pediatrics includes spending more time listening than typing, building real relationships with families, making care easier to access, and being transparent about costs.
Dr. Southard has over 6 years of experience post‑residency in both private and hospital‑owned outpatient practices and newborn nursery. His passions include preventive care, early childhood development, and helping families feel confident and supported.
