Kristen Erwin, D.O. Board Certified Pediatrician At Our Woodbury Location Schedule Now Hi, I’m Dr. Erwin! I am a native of Charlotte, NC. I studied at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, Virginia. I went on to residency at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI. I am thrilled to be a part of the team here at Central Pediatrics as of 2025 and also to be a part of the Minnesota community. I went into pediatrics because I enjoy supporting children through every stage of growth while helping families feel informed and cared for. My favorite moments as a pediatrician can range from seeing a patient thriving on a routine well check to helping patients and their families through some of their most challenging moments. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, paddle boarding, camping, exercising, and cooking. I also love spending time with my dog and cats.
