Services
Newborn check-ups
Comprehensive newborn evaluations starting 2-5 days post-birth. Our pediatricians monitor developmental milestones, administer initial screenings, and provide parental guidance on feeding and care. Regular follow-ups at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9 months ensure proper growth and early detection of potential issues. This proactive approach establishes a strong foundation for lifelong health.
Same-day sick visits
Immediate medical attention for acute illnesses and injuries. Our scheduling system prioritizes same-day appointments for sick patients, with most visits completed within an hour. The separate sick entrance minimizes cross-contamination while maintaining timely access to diagnosis and treatment for common childhood ailments.
Chronic condition management
Specialized treatment plans for children with asthma, ADHD, and other chronic conditions. Our team coordinates care across specialists, provides medication management, and offers family education programs. Regular monitoring through scheduled check-ups ensures optimal control of symptoms and minimizes emergency situations.
Lactation support
Certified lactation counseling services addressing common challenges like latching difficulties and milk supply concerns. Our nurse practitioner provides personalized guidance, practical solutions, and emotional support to help mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals through individual consultations and educational resources.
Sports physicals
Pre-participation evaluations ensuring young athletes meet health requirements for school sports. These comprehensive exams identify potential risks while completing necessary documentation during wellness visits, eliminating the need for separate appointments and streamlining care coordination.

I stopped taking my kids to this pediatrician because she violated my daughter and made her extremely uncomfortable! I would NEVER recommend this place!
