Dr. Xiang “Jackie” Ng has always known she wanted to work with children. As a primary care pediatrician, she sees patients at Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital and Cuba Medical Offices, where she has been caring for families for five years.
“I have always had a special love for working with children,” she shared. Inspired by physicians who showed her how compassion and science can come together to truly change lives, Dr. Ng found purpose in supporting children and their families during both everyday moments and the most difficult ones.
As a woman in medicine, she says the experience has shaped how she shows up for her patients. “Being a woman in medicine has taught me empathy, resilience, and the importance of listening,” she said. “It has shaped how I connect with my patients and their caregivers, allowing me to meet them where they are and advocate for my young patients.”
The most fulfilling part of her work is building lasting relationships. Dr. Ng loves watching children grow, supporting parents through challenges, and being a trusted presence in their lives.
When she’s not in the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her family, playing puzzles and LEGOs, exploring new foods, and traveling.
This National Women Physicians Day, we celebrate Dr. Ng and the many women physicians whose compassion, dedication, and leadership make a lasting difference for patients and families every day.
