Our Services
Here at Pediatric Solutions we strive to offer comprehensive pediatric care in a friendly, upbeat atmosphere. We are open to patients of all ages (birth through college age) and work with parents to provide the best care for their children. We have a similar practice style and communicate with each other frequently about all our patients. We follow current American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) practice guidelines and stay up to date on new medical research. Our practice follows the most current recommendations for immunizations published by the CDC and AAP, and we strongly recommend all our patients stay up to date on their vaccinations.
We are available 24 hours a day 365 days a year if you ever need to speak to a pediatrician. In order to accommodate every type of schedule, we offer Saturday hours, evening hours 2 days a week and morning walk-in hours. All phone calls regarding medical questions are answered by us personally. Complimentary consults are available to expecting parents who wish to meet with us prior to choosing a pediatrician.
We recognize that this time of stress and uncertainty can be very hard on us as parents as well as our children. Some suggestions to help you are:
1.Make a schedule and stick to it - for yourself, for your kids. While teenagers do not have to wake early to get to school, they do still benefit from consistent wake up and bedtimes. Routine and consistency are the best medicine for mental health.
2. Get dressed every day. Do something physical everyday. Do something that exercises your mind every day.
3. Eat healthy.
4. Have your kids connect with friends or family online. Even a short video chat can lift your spirits.
5. Call us if your child is sick or injured. We are still here for you and can help direct you to the care your child needs. Pediatric Solutions is still your medical home!

Learn what to do if you think you've been exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Stay up to date with our Resource Center and get tips to keep you and your family safe.Our office will continue to provide walk in sick hours (M-F 8-9am), but please call in advance if possible (even if it's from the parking lot) so we can properly triage and schedule your visit. We are staggering visits to minimize the number of people in the office at any one time and to clean rooms after each appointment.
We request no more than one caregiver (and no siblings whenever possible) attend visits to our office with the patient. We appreciate your flexibility and patience during these tumultuous times.
As this situation is very fluid, we will continue to update our patients via Facebook and our website.
Thanks and stay safe and healthy!
Starting today, we will be postponing healthy checkups for children over the age of 5 years old for the next 2 weeks. Our office will call you if your child is over 5 years old and had a checkup during this time.
We will continue to see sick patients during office hours. Please call first if your child has a cough and fever. As recommendations evolve, we will continue to update you on our Facebook page and our website.
Thanks and stay safe and healthy everyone!
"In this unprecedented situation of trying to contain the spread of Coronavirus, many children are going to have questions and parents will find it hard to answer them. It is recommended that you do talk to your child about what is going on and encourage them to ask questions. Only answer the questions they ask and give simple answers. Young children will be satisfied with much less information than High School age kids. So let your child lead you in how much you need to discuss. Emphasize that these measures all are preventative to control the spread of the virus and that studies show this can be very effective. Try to be positive- remember they can sense your stress and anxiety more then you may think. Keep to a daily routine as much as possible to provide consistency which is comforting. Get fresh air, exercise and play some fun games together but stay safe!
