Selecting the right pediatrician is a significant decision that requires ensuring the practice’s philosophies and approach to care align with your family’s values and priorities. This alignment is essential for building trust and fostering high-quality care as well as respectful, collaborative decision-making between you and your child’s pediatrician. 


To support you in this process, we encourage you to review our comprehensive checklist to determine if we are the right fit for your family. please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our office policies and services. 


We are dedicated to providing a welcoming, supportive environment and look forward to establishing a mutually rewarding partnership with your family.

  • Vaccines

    Our Vaccine Policy follows the schedule outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We provide private and TVFC Vaccines

  • Antibiotics

    We strive to avoid overusing antibiotics by educating families on their proper use and following evidence-based guidelines to ensure responsible prescribing. Many cases are viral and do not require antibiotic treatment. Instead, our pediatricians take the time to explain alternative approaches and the importance of allowing the body to heal naturally when appropriate. 


    Additionally, we do not routinely prescribe antibiotics over the phone, as we strongly believe it is not sound medical practice to do so without a proper assessment. Antibiotics are only prescribed when deemed necessary and appropriate after a thorough evaluation, prioritizing the well-being of our patients while avoiding the risks of antibiotic resistance and unnecessary side effects.

  • Medical Home

    We work hard to provide comprehensive medical care and serve as your medical home. To that end, we urge you to 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 where appropriate or referring you to the most appropriate specialist and helping coordinate your care.


    Whenever you do see a specialist, we ask that you request a report be sent directly to our office so we may stay informed and have the most up-to-date information in your child’s medical record.

  • Office Hours

    We make every effort to meet the needs of our patients, offering both routine well child visits and sick child visits. To ensure we provide you with the most efficient care we ask that you call to schedule an appointment when your child needs to be seen in our office.
