Dr. Qasimyar grew up in Omaha, NE, attended medical school at the University of Nebraska – Omaha, and completed her residency at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City. After receiving her Medical Degree in 2016, Dr. Qasimyar stayed an additional year to be Chief Resident at Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, and to treat patients as a practicing pediatrician. She spent another year working as a pediatrician in California before joining Bluestem Health. She is Board Certified in Pediatrics through the American Academy of Pediatrics.

“Being a pediatrician is a rewarding experience because you’re given the opportunity to have an impact from the time a child is first born through their adolescent years,” Dr. Qasimyar says. “To follow them as they grow up, to be a trusted resource, and to advocate for those that don’t have a voice or haven’t learned to use their voice yet, is a responsibility that I’m passionate about.”

As a pediatrician, Dr. Qasimyar is often brought in to help care with complex cases. Sometimes these are medically complex patients who have had multiple surgical procedures and require several medications. Other times, these are children with atypical developmental behaviors or children requiring mental health resources.

Any of these challenges can profoundly impact a child’s growth and quality of life and needs to be treated with careful consideration. She shares that “Kids deserve the best care we can give them. However long I am in their lives as their physician, I hope to help guide my patients on a path for a happy, healthy, and safe life.”

At Bluestem Health, Dr. Qasimyar loves the opportunity to serve vulnerable and underserved populations. That was one of the reasons she chose to move back to Nebraska and join Bluestem Health’s team of professionals. She was impressed by their dedication to help the underserved, to provide the best care possible to all people, and to be a trusted resource for parents, children, and teens in the community.

When she is not taking care of patients, Dr. Qasimyar loves exploring the outdoors, especially the local and state parks. She loves reading books, especially fantasy fiction and mysteries, and watching movies. She also enjoys sports, as well as traveling to experience new places.
