"Concierge Pediatrics began with a single mission – to spend more, quality time with patients. Under the time constraints of traditional medicine, we found that office visits were averaging around 10 minutes and that we were unable to build the strong relationships desired with our families. Within our unique membership model, however, now appointments average about an hour-long, allowing more opportunity to know our children and provide the effective care they need. Our parents also have access to their child’s physician 24/7 via phone, text, and email. Some say it’s like “having a best friend for a pediatrician” and we couldn’t agree more!"
