Akilah Grimes, MD

“I get so much pleasure out of watching children grow up and teaching them lifelong healthy habits.”

Dr. Grimes specializes in providing care for everyone from newborns to adolescents. She’s particularly interested in helping newborns, first-time parents, teenagers and patients struggling with obesity. She is the HPV site champion at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Suburban Pediatrics Davidson. She’s trained in implantable birth control.

Her fascination with the human body and how it works inspired her to pursue medicine.

In her free time, Dr. Grimes enjoys spending time with her family, playing tennis, going to concerts, trying out new restaurants and traveling.
