    We strive to provide comprehensive medical care and serve as your medical home. Please contact our office FIRST before seeking specialty care or heading to another provider for urgent care. We want to be involved in either providing care in our office when appropriate or we can refer you to the most appropriate specialist and help coordinate your care outside our office if needed.


    If you do seek outside care with a specialist or urgent care or emergency center please request your childs' medical records be sent directly to our office.  As your medical home we want to stay updated and informed on all medical care provided to our patients.

  • Vaccines

    We offer vaccines at our office according to the Amercian Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.  Our typical well-child visit schedule is found here.

  • Antibiotics

    We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on using antibiotics.  We strive to avoid over-using antibiotics by educating families on their proper use and following evidence-based guidelines to ensure responsible prescribing. 


    Many respiratory infections are viral and do not require antibiotic treatment. Instead, our providers take the time to explain alternative approaches and the importance of allowing the body to heal naturally when appropriate. 


    We do not prescribe antibiotics over the phone.  If needed they are only prescribed after a thorough evaluation, prioritizing the well-being of our patients while avoiding the risks of antibiotic resistance and unnecessary side effects.
