Our services
-
We do regular checkups for children from birth through 21 years old. We do these check-ups to ensure that your child is meeting growth and development milestones, as well as answer any questions or concerns about their health and happiness.
While checking up on their physical health, we also give guidance on topics such as: nutrition, behavior, and immunizations so that parents are fully armed with holistic knowledge about their child’s healthcare. -
We have a dedicated Same-day care clinic open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm to care for any same-day appointments. We offer in-house testing for Flu, RSV, and Strep. We also work with local companies, just a couple of blocks away, for imaging services.
If it is an emergency, please dial 911 and seek emergent medical care. -
We offer prenatal appointments to expectant Moms and Spouses to discuss any questions or concerns about our practice, the first appointment, and general birth plans/expectations.
To schedule a prenatal visit, call the office anytime the practice is open and we will schedule you to establish care with one of our amazing providers!

For more complex concerns that parents and guardians would like to discuss in depth, such as behavior, nutrition, or vaccine guidance, we can schedule focused discussions. Our providers can give guidance on a variety of pediatric health topics so that both the caregiver and provider can feel confident in a long term plan for the children.

Our practice offers medication management for both long term/chronic medical conditions and for acute sick care concerns. The providers work with you, the caregiver, to ensure that your child is receiving the appropriate medication for their needs.
