Pediatrics is the medical specialty devoted to the physical, social, and emotional well being of children from birth to young adulthood. It encompasses a range of services from preventive healthcare such as well-child physicals and immunizations to the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic diseases. By selecting a pediatrician for your child’s heath care, you have chosen a physician with the highest level of medical training and expertise in the care and treatment of children. Our pediatricians are certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and are Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
