About Our Clinic
Kids First Pediatrics is a full-service pediatric clinic in Pleasant View, TN focusing on the health and wellness of the entire child from newborn up to college-aged. We offer a family feel to the pediatrics experience and want you to feel like our office is a safe place to land as you grow your family. Kids First Pediatrics recommends all routine pediatric vaccines be given as recommended by the AAP and ACIP. We do not delay or space vaccinations unless specifically indicated. Although we support a parents’ right to make decisions for their children, we have developed our policy in order to best protect those patients of ours who are most medically vulnerable. If your child is behind on vaccinations for whatever reason and you would like to work towards catching them up, we are happy to work with you to do so.

About Lisa
My name is Lisa Arms and I am from Cedar Hill, Tn in Robertson County. I have worked in pediatrics for over 27 years, 16 of those were with Dr Jenny Seawell. I started with The Children’s Clinic in 1994 and then with the formation of Premier Medical Group for the rest of those 27 years. I have been privileged and honored to work with some of the best pediatricians and nurse practitioners for many years. I have learned a great deal over the years about pediatric medicine and love to take care of the kiddos. I started out working clinically but then worked in a management position for many of those years. I am enjoying hands on patient care again and have realized how much I missed it. I am very grateful to be given this opportunity with such a great provider who really cares about the well-being of your children. I have 2 children, Jacob, and Julia, who keep me hopping. Jacob is a junior at WKU, and Julia is a sophomore at Jo Byrns High School. I have been married to Ricky Arms, who is also my best friend, for 31 years and we spend most of our time at sporting events of some kind with our daughter. We enjoy camping and kayaking with friends as well.
