Dr. Tracy Rowe
Extensive Education and Experience
Dr. Rowe is a true Arkansan, having been born and raised in North Little Rock. She pursued her undergraduate studies at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Her journey in medicine began as a nurse’s aide at Baptist Medical Center in North Little Rock, a role that solidified her passion for healthcare. Dr. Rowe obtained her medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in Little Rock and completed her residency in Pediatrics at UAMS/Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
“I have always wanted to be a pediatrician,” Dr. Rowe shares. “My mom used to tell stories of my lining up my dolls, putting bandages on them and wrapping their arms and legs with Kleenex pretending it was a cast.”

Having served as a pediatrician in Hot Springs for 23 years at Hot Springs Pediatric Clinic, she has had the joy of watching many children grow and thrive. Her approach to healthcare is holistic, ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and care tailored to their unique needs.
