Advice for Parents at All Times
Parenting is a 24/7 job and we love supporting you whenever you need us. We understand many common childhood illnesses get worse at night, preventing sleep and causing pain or discomfort. While these routine illnesses often resolve without immediately seeing a pediatrician, you need to be able to reach the doctor to get advice. The last thing you want when your child is sick is to call an anonymous nursing line telling you to head to the nearest emergency room.
Should you need guidance after hours or on the weekend, your membership gives you direct telephone access to one of our providers. We are available ANY TIME you need us.

Educating Parents About Baby's Health
There is a lot of information about how best to raise your little one and we know this can be overwhelming, especially for new parents. During appointments we have ample time to discuss the many contributors to a child’s physical as well as emotional health & development and provide you with information about:
- Vaccination
- Nutrition for expectant and breastfeeding mothers
- Whole organic foods and safe products that will minimize harmful chemicals your child is exposed to
- Botanical and non-pharmaceutical remedies for common ailments to prevent overprescribing medication
- Developmental stages and how to nurture your child's emotional intelligence, creative potential, expressive language, and cognitive growth
We really get to know our little patients and their families. That way, whatever your question or concern we are able to personalize our approach and advice.
