Services
Well Child Check
Our comprehensive well child checks monitor growth and development through precise measurements of weight, height, and BMI. We assess motor skills, cognitive development, and social interaction while providing age-appropriate immunizations and nutrition guidance. With scheduled visits from newborn through adolescence, our evidence-based approach ensures early detection of developmental concerns and timely preventive care interventions.
General Office Visits
We manage common childhood illnesses and chronic conditions like asthma, ADHD, and anxiety disorders. Our general office visits include medication management and acute care for infections, injuries, and other pediatric health concerns. Our providers develop individualized treatment plans while maintaining continuity of care through regular follow-up appointments and family education.
Sports Physicals
Our sports physicals ensure young athletes meet health requirements for safe participation in school or community sports programs. This comprehensive exam assesses cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal function, and overall fitness level. While $45 fee applies, this service provides essential clearance documentation and identifies any health concerns requiring further evaluation before athletic participation.
Sick Visits
We prioritize same-day appointments for acute illnesses and injuries requiring prompt attention. Our sick visit service addresses symptoms like fever, respiratory infections, and minor trauma with timely diagnosis and treatment. Patients receive clear care instructions and follow-up recommendations while maintaining access to after-hours provider consultation through our answering service.
Pre-Natal Consult
Expectant parents can schedule prenatal consultations to discuss pediatric care expectations and meet our medical team. These appointments include office tours, Q&A sessions about newborn care, and introductions to our practice philosophy. This service helps establish care plans for future patients while addressing parental concerns about pediatric healthcare options.

I brought my girls here for pediatric care and when we went to the office, we loved it! Everyone was really kind and it had an old timely feel. taking me back to my childhood. we really like it. My only issue is that my daughter was put on an antidepressant and now getting a refill is challenging. I went in personally 2 days ago because I couldn't get through on phone. I was told the refill would be called in. 2 days later still nothing! My daughter is 12 and because of her saratonin levels going crazy this girl won't get out of bed and just doesn't care about anything. I'm really frustrated with this.

We love Dr. Sherry Nussbaum! Very relaxed and down to earth. She works with our personal needs and truly cares. Rest of the office is just as awesome and caring. My daughter has been a patient since birth (she's almost 3), and our new addition will be going when she arrives. Highly recommend!

Dr. Nussbaum is kind, professional, thorough, and always encouraging. She is highly competent and my children respond well to her. Her office is comfortable and inviting. The staff responds quickly to questions and wait times are generally short. I am very happy with Dr. Nussbaum as the pediatrician for my two children.

Just switched to her clinic from another doctor and we are very happy with the outcome. Short waiting time, proficient stuff and friendly atmosphere. The only thing that might be improved is quite old style temperature measurement instrument.
