Looking for a doctor? We have a meet the provider night scheduled each month with one of our pediatricians and nurse practitioners. Please call our office if you are interested in attending this introductory session. During regular office hours, we have two separate waiting rooms – one for well children and one for sick children. We offer extended evening hours and Saturday hours. We strive to provide same-day appointments when you call in. Our patients and families are always encouraged to call 24/7 when medical problems arise. We have trained pediatric nurses who have access to your child’s electronic medical records when our office is closed. As a practice, we know that preventive care, including vaccinations, is the most important part of our service to patients and their families. To best protect your children, our other patients, as well as our staff and providers from vaccine preventable illness, we have made the decision to only accept families into our practice who plan to fully vaccinate their children according to the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Family Physicians guidelines.
