I'm Dr.G
Pediatrician, Motivational Speaker, Author, Visionary
I’m Dr. Gretchen Petterway. My patients call me Dr. G, Dr. Petterway, Dr. P, and even Dr. Pepper. Call me what you like because I’ll answer them all. Ha! I am a board-certified pediatrician with 16 years of experience teaching girls about puberty, menstrual periods, and everything in between.Â
Most people don’t know that I love playing board games with my family. I was the Connect 4 Champion. But, my son recently dethroned me. Rude! I like romantic comedies, and I am totally afraid of scary movies. I am a huge fan of Plant-Based eating and the Pittsburgh Steelers! I am that horrible dancer who loves to dance.Â
When I was a young girl, I had an accident AT SCHOOL because I didn’t know that my second period would last longer than the first one. I was a bloody mess and went home feeling ashamed and horrified! No one had taught me about all that stuff, so I was unprepared. Â
I have a unique perspective because I was also a young girl growing up with low self-esteem and a poor self-image due to past childhood trauma. I didn’t know God created me as a beautiful human being with a unique gift I’d one day share with the world.  Now, I get to teach girls about puberty and empower them with tools to promote positive self-images while pushing them into their God-given purposes!Â
I am determined to show up as my best self so that I can help young girls show up as their best selves on purpose!
