About Me

When away from work, I enjoy cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs and Saint Louis Cardinals, running, reading and doing interior design.

Care Philosophy

Much of what drew me to pulmonary and critical care medicine was as a young girl seeing my grandfather succumb to COPD and lung cancer. I felt I could be part of changing medicine in a way that impacts patients for the better. Providing compassion, communication and collaboration is vital in my role as a physician.

Area of Interest

I enjoy all aspects of this field, including asthma, COPD, interstitial lung and pulmonary diseases, and pulmonary hypertension.

Yesterday was my first experience with Dr Little, and was it a great one! She was cheerful, knowledgeable, encouraging and calming. I have been fighting this cough issue for months. Dr Little changed my medicine, calmed me about diseases that could cause my cough, encouraged me to stick to my regiment reassuring me that the changes she offered would fix my symptoms. I left her office feeling heard, excited about my prospects of feeling healthy, eager to try new methods and feeling like she really cared about me ! I could not have been more pleased with my new Dr. I would highly recommend Dr. Little for any pulmonary issues. Verna Austin
