First Choice Pediatrics Sanford

History

In 1998, Dr. Cassia Portugal started First Choice Pediatrics in a small office next to the Winter Park Hospital. The overwhelming success of returning patients motivated Dr. Portugal to expand her practice by 2000. She needed more space and moved the entire practice to our main location on Semoran Boulevard. Her next endeavor was to extend services to patients in the Sanford area and opened a new office on Medical Plaza Drive in 2005. With the success of her first two offices she decided to add two more locations in 2012; Alafaya and Metrowest. First Choice Pediatrics now has twelve board certified physicians practicing at all six locations in the Orlando, Kissimmee, Oviedo, and Sanford areas.
