Our Staff
We believe that a pediatric office, its staff and providers should feel like family. Take a few minutes and get to know our providers and staff a little better.
Dr. Savage
Dr. Savage was born just outside of Minden, Louisiana and spent the majority of his early childhood in the back of his father’s pharmacy. His family moved to Heber Springs, Arkansas when he was eight, and this is where he graduated from high school and met his wife, Mindy. Dr. Savage obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Central Arkansas and his medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He joined the Army just before starting medical school (and just before September 11th), accepting a scholarship to help pay for his medical school training. Dr. Savage completed residency training while on active duty at the San Antonio Military Pediatric Consortium and was then assigned to Fort Polk, Louisiana where he served as a general pediatrician, caring for the children of soldiers stationed there. While at Fort Polk, Dr. Savage deployed to Iraq where he served as physician for the 3rd Squadron, 1st US Calvary Regiment.
Dr. Savage and his family have called Northwest Arkansas home since the summer of 2012.
Dr. Savage and Mindy have been married for nearly 20 years. They have three children, two chocolate labs, and one cat. Dr. Savage enjoys hunting, fishing (especially fly fishing), woodworking, spending time with family, grilling, drum corps, and music on vinyl records. Dr. Savage and his family are members of First Baptist Church Bentonville.
Dr. Tate
Dr. Tate is a native of Pensacola, Florida and was raised as the second of five children for Harold and Lynna McGhee in rural Alabama. She is a member of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians of south Alabama.
After high school, she attended the University of Alabama spending summers in programs at the University of Oklahoma, and Yale University medical school as well as a patient care assistant for pediatrics at the University of Alabama’s Capstone clinic. She earned her medical degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine in 2005 spending summers in pediatric rheumatology research. She has two first author publications for this work including one in the peer reviewed journal, Pediatrics. Dr Tate completed her pediatrics training at St Louis Children’s hospital with her outpatient clinic in Maryville, IL.
Dr Tate’s out of state medical education was offset by a scholarship from the Indian Health Service. After training, her first job was with Choctaw Nation as the first pediatrician for their clinic in McAlester, OK. It was then that she met her husband, Matt.
After 4 years practicing in Oklahoma, Dr. Tate moved to Northwest Arkansas with her husband and daughter in the summer of 2012.
Dr. Tate enjoys hiking, kayaking, swimming, reading, and traveling with family as well as spending time with her Belgian Malinois. Dr Tate and her family are members of First Baptist Church Rogers.
Dr. Noble
Dr. Noble was born and raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where she spent most of her time with her family on the lake. Dr. Noble then moved to Oklahoma where she attended Oklahoma State University for her undergraduate studies. Dr. Noble and her husband both attended Oklahoma State at the same time but never crossed paths until years later when she moved to Arkansas for medical school.
As part of the inaugural class at the Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Noble’s journey into pediatrics became clear during a rotation at Living Tree Pediatrics, where she fell in love with caring for children. Dr. Noble then went back to Oklahoma to complete her residency training at Oklahoma State University in pediatrics in Tulsa. Now, she’s thrilled to return to the clinic as a full-time pediatrician.
Outside the office, Dr. Noble enjoys spending time with her family, attending as many OSU football games as she can, and anything that involves her family dog.
