Partnerships Built on Trust
Choosing a pediatrician for your child is an important decision! We value effective communication and strive to establish long term relationships built on mutual respect and trust.
New Patients Welcome
Thank you for trusting us with your child’s health. We welcome new patients starting at birth, and established patients can be seen up to their nineteenth birthday.

Get the Right Dose
Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you on how much to give, based on your child’s weight.
You may notice we ask at your newborn visit what vaccines you received during your pregnancy. This is because vaccination during pregnancy can help protect your infant during their first few months of life.
So what does the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommend for pregnant women?
1. Tdap during every pregnancy between weeks 27 to 36. Even if you had your Tdap just prior to becoming pregnant, it is still recommended to get one during those weeks to protect your newborn from pertussis (whooping cough).
2. RSV. This can only be given September to January between 32 and 36 week. It also needs to be administered at least 2 weeks prior to delivery to make sure there was enough time for antibodies to protect your baby. Unlike Tdap, RSV vaccine can only be given during one pregnancy so any subsequent babies will need the antibody injection for babies for protection.
3. Flu vaccine. Flu vaccine can be given at any time during pregnancy. It helps protect the mother from flu complications and the baby once it is born.
4. COVID vaccine. Covid vaccine can be given during any trimester and helps the mother reduce her risk of severe illness from Covid. Antibodies formed during pregnancy can also be passed onto your baby to protect them as well.
