About me
Suzanne Kavet has a master’s degree in education from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well as a master’s degree in nursing from Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, she worked as a counselor for children and families. Suzanne Kavet has always specialized in pediatrics and worked at Boston Children’s Hospital for many years, eventually specializing in ambulatory gastroenterology. She also worked for seven years caring for children with complex medical needs, living in foster homes.
She loves working with children because of the joy they bring to the present moment. Pediatrics also presents the opportunity to integrate family and psycho-social dynamics and into assessment and treatment.
The cumulative result of her background in counselling combined with her skills as a pediatric nurse practitioner have prepared her to work with families and their children delivering holistic and comprehensive care.
Ms. Kavet spends her free time learning ballroom dance, salsa and west coast swing with her husband, sampling Portland’s diverse restaurants and spending time with her two young grandchildren.
