Atrium Health Provider
Accepts New Patients
Treats Only Children“I believe every child should have an equal opportunity to live a healthy life, and I value every opportunity to advocate for the health and well-being of my patients and families.”
Dr. Walls is a board-certified pediatrician. She is an assistant professor of pediatrics in the Division of General Academic Pediatrics.
Her current research interests are in health disparities and health services. Specifically, she is interested in how to improve the quality and equity of care for historically underserved, vulnerable patients and their families within the primary care setting.
Dr. Walls' prior research and grant support have examined the care of diverse children with developmental and behavioral disorders like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. She has also studied health disparities in treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and how telehealth and virtual care impact the care received by patients in community clinic settings.
She chose general pediatrics because she loves science and addressing her patients’ physical, developmental and socio-emotional health.
Dr. Walls received her medical degree and completed her residency at Vanderbilt University. She followed that with a fellowship at Boston University.
She enjoys spending time and traveling with her husband and family. She loves music and attending live concerts.
