Pediatrics West

We support children in their journey to becoming healthy, confident adults, maximizing their unique potential. The greatest responsibility one person can give another is to care for his or her child. We assume the mantle of this responsibility with diligence, intellectual rigor, efficiency and compassion.

Walk-ins for ages five and up are accepted from 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday only. NOTE: If you plan to come in to pick up forms, please make arrangements to do so by 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Nurses are readily available during the daytime to assist with routine issues, or to help you decide if your child needs to be seen that day.

The newborn period is a magical time for new parents as you finally hold the child you have been waiting to meet for so long. We delight in meeting you and your newborn and using evidence-based guidelines to tailor our care to your baby's and family's unique needs. As your baby grows and develops we carefully track his/her physical growth and development, performing regular screenings to ensure that any problems with hearing, vision, physical, or intellectual development are recognized and treated early.

As your child gets a little older and goes off to school, regardless of what age this happens at, there continues to be a lot of activity and development of both their minds and bodies. While the frequency of their visits may decrease, we continue to carefully monitor their health. This is an age where behavioral issues as well as more subtle developmental issues may be recognized.

During the adolescent years, our patients (and their parents) are navigating the course from being dependent children to being independent young adults. Through the well child visits we discuss the normal physical changes of puberty, the nutritional needs of rapidly growing bodies, and the academic and social challenges of school.
