Natalie Bruce, MD

Dr. Bruce is a warm, kind, board-certified pediatrician with over a decade of experience in traditional outpatient clinics. In 2024, she opened Nurturing Pediatrics as a direct primary care practice.

She provides integrative pediatric mental and behavioral health consultations in a setting designed for thoughtful care. By keeping a small patient panel, she is able to dedicate sufficient time to care for each unique child and family.

Her approach moves beyond a one-size-fits-all, symptom-focused model to create personalized care plans grounded in each child's biology, lifestyle, and environment. She is dedicated to helping children thrive and loves working with families to achieve this goal.

She provides care for children typically ages 4-19 in North Carolina and has specialized training in patient-centered mental health, functional and integrative psychiatry, developmental disabilities, autism, and neuroimmune conditions.
