Meet Carolyn Davis, MSN, APRN-CNP

Carolyn Davis, APRN-CNP is a certified pediatric nurse practitioner specializing in primary and acute care pediatrics. Before starting her role as a Nurse Practitioner in Pediatric Surgery in 2012, she was a bedside nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for 5 years. In 2018, she had the opportunity to participate in a regional multidisciplinary colorectal workshop and found her love for colorectal patients. In 2019 she began an independently run bowel management program where she sees patients struggling with constipation with a history of anorectal malformation, Hirschsprung disease, or idiopathic constipation refractory to medical management. In 2024, in conjunction with Justin Huntington, M.D., they developed the Akron Children’s Pediatric Colorectal Program which includes a comprehensive approach with multidisciplinary clinics collaborating with specialists in motility, urology and gynecology. Carolyn values the relationships she develops with her patients and families and knows this is essential in providing care both before and after surgery. Outside of her clinical duties she is a Relationship Centered Care trainer at Akron Children’s Hospital. When she is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family, watching her 4 kids at their various sporting events and dancing.

They were very nice and they listened to what I had to say and (Patient) was very comfortable with them and patient with her and she liked the way they took care of her and so did I.

All the pediatric surgeons and everyone up there, nurses and staff, even the cafeteria, they're all super, super nice. 100%. I would never change it for my kids. I love going to Akron Children's Hospital.

Carolyn is so warm and personable. She interacts great with my daughter, listens well and is thorough in explaining things. I'm very thankful for my daughter to be under her care.

Carolyn and the bowel management program have been invaluable resources for us as we manage post-surgery care for our daughter who was born with an IA. Because of Carolyn and her practical advice, we feel confident as parents that we are taking the necessary precautionary measures to ensure that she does not develop further complications as she ages and learns to toilet train. I have reached out to Carolyn and her team multiple times through MyChart when we were having instances of constipation and she was quick to provide helpful guidance to remedy the situation (and followed up to see how our daughter was doing). I hope this program (and Carolyn!!) never go away- it is truly a lifeline for us as young parents and it absolutely gives us the tools we need to ensure that our daughter lives the healthiest life possible.
