Natalie Bruce, MD, FAAP

I am a warm, kind, board-certified pediatrician with over a decade of experience in traditional outpatient clinics. In 2024, I opened Nurturing Pediatrics as a direct primary care practice. In 2026, I transitioned away from direct primary care to increase availability for specialty consultation services. I provide integrative pediatric mental and behavioral health consultations in a setting designed for thoughtful care.

By keeping a small patient panel, I am able to dedicate sufficient time to care for each unique child and family. My 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. I am dedicated to helping children thrive and love working with families to achieve this goal. 

I provide care for children (typically <18yo) in North Carolina. Due to capacity issues, I am not able to answer inquiries regarding care for adults or children living in other states.  Please visit the Resource page for information and tools to support self-advocacy or advocacy for your adult child.
