Nancy D. Robblee, M.D.

I was born in Seattle, Washington and lived there until the age of three when my family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. After graduating from the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York, I worked for four years as a mental health counselor specializing in adolescent counseling. Deciding I wanted more involvement in health care, I then attended medical school at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio. My pediatrics residency and internship was completed at Children's Hospital and Medical Center. Upon completion, I opened Skagit Pediatrics in 1982 with my partner, Dr. Frances T. Chalmers. I am married and have two daughters. My interests include playing classical piano music, bicycling, hiking, reading, and spending time with my family.

Holly Lea, ARNP

I grew up on a horse ranch in Sultan, WA. After high school, I felt like I needed to experience the other side of the US, so I headed off to Vassar College in New York for my first bachelors degree in Biopsychology. It was clear I belonged back in Washington. I came back and worked in the Vascular Biology department at UW doing research for 7 years before I decided to become a nurse. I received a bachelors degree in Nursing from UW in 1999. Shortly thereafter my daughter was born, and my husband and I decided to move up to Mount Vernon to get out of the city. I quickly found Skagit Pediatrics and knew right away I was where I was supposed to be.  While working as an RN at Skagit Peds, I went back to the UW and earned my Masters in Nursing to become a Board Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in 2008. I love working with children and their families, and look forward to a long and fulfilling career at Skagit Pediatrics.

Todd Ouellette, ARNP

I was born in Moses Lake, but grew up in a number of places. My first health sciences degree, in nursing was in 1975, and I worked at Children's in Seattle from 1976 - 1990 when I finished a Masters degree at the UW. I worked as a Nurse Practitioner in Ashland and Medford Oregon from 1990 - 1997, but was too far from home, and was pleased when the opportunity to join Skagit Pediatrics presented in 1997. Being single, you will often find me in late and weekend clinic. When not at work, I enjoy birding, hiking, cooking, and being home.
