About Kristin A Dayton

Hello! My name is Dr. Kristin Dayton as I work as a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist at UF Health. I attended the University of Florida for my undergraduate degree, Wake Forest University for Medical School and returned to Gainesville, FL for my Pediatric Residency and Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship at the University of Florida.

My clinical interests include caring for children in all areas of endocrinologic and diabetes care, with a special interest in differences of sexual development, also known as intersex disorders. I provide care for these conditions in a team-based and patient centered fashion. I am also very involved with educational programs for the UF College of Medicine, working to improve medical education for our next generation of physicians.
