Meet Dr Hain

Dr Hain grew up in Georgia and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an out-of-state undergraduate student (and fell in love with the Triangle area during her time there from 1987-1991). She received her MD from the Medical College of Georgia, and then completed residency at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. She met her husband in training at Vanderbilt, and they decided to stay in Nashville for their careers, hers in private general pediatrics practice, his in hospital medicine and hospital administration. When a move for her husband’s work brought her to Dallas in 2012, Dr Hain shifted her focus to providing behavioral pediatrics assessments for children in Texas, most recently at the Child Study Center in Fort Worth, a multi-specialty center providing comprehensive behavioral assessments and treatments for children with Autism, ADHD, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities, serving Dallas/Fort Worth and much of West Texas.

During her time in Texas, Dr Hain served as the state’s co-chair for the Texas Pediatric Society’s committee on Mental Health, one of the largest committees in the largest state AAP chapter in the country, from 2017-2021. Dr Hain was also asked to serve as an ADHD content expert for a Texas Quality Improvement Project sponsored by the state and national AAP chapters, and to develop a Texas Health Steps educational webinar to better educate general pediatricians in Texas in how to diagnose, seek referrals, and medically and behaviorally support children with the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
