Originally from Peru, Illinois, Dr. Batty moved to the area to attend Saint Louis University for her undergraduate major in Psychology. She then received her medical degree from Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Eager to stay in a city she'd grown to love, Dr. Batty completed her pediatric residency and an additional year as a chief resident at St. Louis Children's Hospital. She is a board certified pediatrician.

Dr. Batty lives in University City with her husband, Jonathan. In her free time, she enjoys trying out new restaurants, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and playing with her dog, Curry.

"I'm humbled by the trust families place in me to play a small part in their kids' lives. I know how hard it can be when your child has an ear infection, twists her ankle playing basketball or has trouble progressing in school. It means so much that in these difficult moments, I can use what I've learned to help them."
