Jennifer Lunt, LPN

Jennifer is an awesome nurse who works directly with Dr. McConnell.  She is extremely educated and experienced in pediatrics but has particular expertise in pediatric dermatology.  First-time patients will often see Jennifer before seeing Dr. McConnell.  She has a very friendly, quirky (in a good way) approach to pediatric dermatology patients.
