Your Experience Matters
If you've ever felt ignored by the healthcare system, you're not alone.
Maybe this sounds familiar:
You're scared about losing your independence.
You want to feel better but don't know where to start.
You're afraid insurance won't pay for the screenings you need.
You're overwhelmed by complicated medical info that never seems to fit your life.
You've tried to do all the "right things," but the system wasn't built with your needs in mind.
I completely understand, because I've been there too.
I bring together 25+ years as a family practice physician and my lived experience with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease to make healthcare feel more human, accessible, and hopeful.
My Personal Action Plan helps you take charge of your health in three simple parts:
🩺 Screenings
Learn which tests and checkups matter most for you—and how to ask for them with confidence. You'll get simple guidance to help you stay on top of your preventive care, catch potential problems early, and feel empowered to have real conversations with your providers.
🌿 Lifestyle
Discover small, realistic habits that actually fit your body and your daily life. Whether it's movement, nutrition, or rest, this plan focuses on progress over perfection, helping you make choices that support your health without guilt, pressure, or overwhelm.
💬 Advocacy & Self-Management
Build the tools and confidence to take an active role in your care. Learn how to speak up for what you need, navigate the healthcare system with less stress, and manage your health with more clarity and support. Because you deserve to be heard, and you can be your own best advocate.

My Story
Hi, I'm Dr. Dixie "Dee Dee" Dennington Kidd, a family practice physician with over 25 years of experience in correctional, bariatric, and urgent care medicine. Alongside my clinical work, I serve as a health coach, helping patients with disabilities navigate the often-overlooked world of preventive health.
I live with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and wear braces on both legs, which gives me a deeply personal understanding of the barriers many of my patients face. My own health journey has shaped not only how I practice medicine, but why I do it—inspiring my passion for making healthcare more accessible, inclusive, and empowering for everyone.
Outside of work, I'm the proud mom of three college students. My daughter is a triplet, and we carry forward the love and memory of her two siblings we lost. I am kept busy and endlessly entertained by my three beloved dogs, who bring humor and joy to my everyday life.
The most powerful medicine is the kind that prevents disease before it starts.
My career and personal experiences are woven together by a simple but powerful belief:
Through my work, I'm committed to bringing health, healing, and hope—to my patients, my family, and myself.
