Dr. Gary Kirkilas is a pediatrician with a unique practice. His office is a 40 foot mobile medical unit that he drives to homeless shelters in Phoenix providing free medical care to children and families. He serves as a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, giving commentary on trending pediatric issues in the media. As a spokesperson, he is often called to speak on providing healthcare via mobile medicine, the state of homelessness in youth, changing trends in youth substance use, how parents should speak to kids about drugs, the effects of cannabis advertising on children, and how healthcare providers can advocate for themselves and their patients. He has four wonderful (most of the time) children and four cuddly (almost never) cats.
