AMBER MACHIN, MD, FAAP
Carly is a board-certified physician assistant with a passion for pediatrics and the great outdoors. Originally from Western New York, she earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Daemen University in Buffalo. After completing PA school, Carly dove into neurosurgery for two years before realizing her heart was with the younger generation. This led her to the Adirondack Mountains, where she worked in Student Health, and eventually to Yakima, WA, where she spent two years practicing outpatient pediatrics.
Her clinical interests include lifestyle medicine and fostering healthy habits in her patients. Carly is thrilled to join Dr. Machin and Marc at Fairhaven Pediatrics and looks forward to getting to know the wonderful families in the community.
When she’s not caring for little ones, you can find Carly outdoors—hiking, backpacking, kayaking, and exploring all that Bellingham’s natural beauty has to offer. She's excited to call this special place home and can't wait to serve the families of Fairhaven Pediatrics!
