A Pediatrician is a medical doctor, who has attended medical school and completed a pediatric residency specialized in the treatment of children. A Pediatric NP is an advanced practice nurse with a master’s degree specializing in the treatment of children. Both Pediatricians and Pediatric NPs are uniquely trained in the treatment of infants, children, and teens and are certified by their respective governing board to perform pediatric care. Our providers treat both acutely and chronically ill children as well as do preventative well-child annual exams and sports physicals. They educate parents and children on healthy lifestyle, growth and development, safety, and emotional wellness to foster lifelong healthy habits.

Yes, we strongly encourage parents to visit our office for a “new patient meet and greet” with the provider they are interested in for their child.

Our Pediatric providers are specialists in the care of common childhood illnesses and injuries. Sometimes, your child may require more detailed evaluation by a specialist to address their condition. You and your Pediatric provider will make this decision together based on your child’s medical needs. Our office will initiate a referral to a specialty office using your insurance network and location preferences.

Medical advice is available for our patients 24 hours a day.
