Dr. Todd E. Bush is a Pediatrician practicing in Overland Park, KS.
Growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska, I knew I loved medicine at a young age. As a child I struggled with allergies and asthma (“attacks” as they were called back then). Frequent visits to the doctor’s office, emergency rooms and two hospitalizations left a big impression on me. Health is not something to be taken for granted. I experienced first hand just how critical it is to have compassionate and knowledgeable doctors and nurses looking out for me.
After college at the University of Nebraska, I went on to UNMC in Omaha for medical school. A rural pediatrics rotation in Hastings Nebraska, taught me that being a pediatrician doesn’t stop when the office closes. These doctors were dedicated to their community as well. Providing access to patients is critical, because medical needs don’t always happen during “banker’s hours”. This is why I choose to work a full time schedule (and beyond!) to meet my patient’s needs.
Residency at Children’s Mercy Hospital introduced me to how expansive and complex pediatric medicine can be. I have a great many mentors from that hospital that are now just a phone call away, available to help understand this ever changing specialty. I take pride in staying abreast of the field of pediatrics and have continued to learn the art of medicine over the last 13 years from my colleagues, my parents, and most of all my patients!
Children’s Mercy also introduced me to my lovely wife, Teri. She was working as a nurse when I had the good fortune to rotate through the Neonatal ICU. Raising four children puts life and work into perspective like no other experience. Perhaps, unique to being a father is the shared understanding I have with my parents of the trials and tribulations of parenthood. It’s never easy being a parent, but such an important role and responsibility! Empathy for the families I care for will be woven into all that I do as your pediatrician.
Compassion for my patients, commitment to my community, access for my families, and knowledge of the specialty of pediatrics are what I have to offer as your child’s pediatrician. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to see you soon!
