Chats with Batts, PA

Chats with Batts is no longer accepting patients. I am making the transition to work for the public schools. It’s truly been a blessing to serve the community for the past 5 years. Thank you to the providers who trusted me with their patients (especially Pirate Pediatrics). And most of all thank you to the families who shared their children and their lives with me. 💜 Keep chatting out there! 💬

Thank you Sallie Thomas for printing my new Chats with Batts shirts 🙂 Check out her group for great custom printing!
