Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Abigail Casainova earned her nursing degrees from Case Western Reserve University and Drexel University, becoming a Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner certified by the PNCB.
She began her career in the NICU at UPMC Children’s Hospital, later joining CHOP where she worked across several specialties before serving as a Genetics Nurse Practitioner in the Overgrowth and Beckwith-Wiedemann Clinic.
Abby loves pediatrics because of the resilience and honesty of children—helping them heal and get back to being kids is what inspires her most. She enjoys the unfiltered thoughts of children which often lead to moments of laughter and fun during the appointments.
Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, skiing, kayaking, and running, as well as spending time with her niece and nephew, baking, reading, and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins.
