Our services include parental guidance on feeding, sleep patterns, and early childhood development, ensuring both baby and parents receive the support they need during this critical period.

We offer complete immunization services following CDC and AAP guidelines to protect children from preventable diseases.

Our comprehensive ADHD care includes detailed evaluations, behavior therapy, and personalized medication management. We help children improve focus and behavior through tailored treatment plans that combine therapeutic strategies and careful medication monitoring.

Physical Exams
We conduct thorough physical exams to monitor children's growth and development, including school and sports physicals. Our assessments cover medical history review, vital signs measurement, and developmental milestone tracking. These routine check-ups help detect potential health concerns early while ensuring children remain up-to-date with vaccination requirements for academic and athletic participation.

Report
Absolutely wonderful staff and physicians. I have been a patient for as long as I can remember and I've never had a bad experience. Dr. Meyer is my yearly physician that I have been seeing for the last 6 or so years and every visit with her is such a treat. She's incredibly helpful, listening to my every question and concern, and will gladly explain and offer any extra information on hand. In a pinch, I have seen a few of the other partners, and every one of them has been incredible at explaining their thought processes and reasonings for any testing or results. I truly have enjoyed visiting NOVA for my health and will be very sad once I age out of their care.

I love NOVA Pediatrics! We've been patients for just over a year and I'm so thankful I found this practice. We've been seeing Virginia (Ginny) Krause in the Woodbridge office and she's fantastic. She has been extremely thorough and helpful. She has a wonderful bedside manner, she's down to earth, easy to talk to and makes my child and I feel comfortable. I also really appreciate that she takes her time and we never feel rushed. She answers all our questions and she's very honest. The whole staff is very polite, professional, and caring. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone in need of a pediatrician.
