As a pediatrician, I aim to provide a safe space for families, listen to their concerns, and provide them with the best whole-person care. I want every family to feel heard and respected to help alleviate any anxiety associated with visiting the doctor’s office. Maya Angelou once said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Frequently asked questions
We recommend that you take your child for a visit to the pediatrician three to five days after birth, but this could change based on your child’s needs.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that parents bring their children to their pediatrician for regular checkups seven times between the ages of 1 and 4. Speak with your pediatrician for the optimal schedule of visits.
You can always schedule an appointment with your pediatrician first, but they may refer you to a specialist who can provide more thorough care for your condition. Major congenital anomalies, malignancies, major trauma, and chronic illnesses in infants and children should be managed by pediatric subspecialists with the assistance of the child’s pediatrician.
Men aged 18-39 years can go as long as two years between wellness exams, while women in that same age range should have two physical exams in their 20s and another two in their 30s.
As you age, these visits should become more frequent. Men over 45 years should have a physical exam once a year and begin colorectal cancer screenings. Women over 45 years should have a physical exam every one to two years, also beginning mammograms and colorectal cancer screenings.
Our physicians aim to provide personalized and comprehensive care. As much as possible, be open and honest with your physician regarding what’s going on with your health, and don’t hold back if something is bothering you. Some questions you may want to consider for yourself include:
- Is a medication you’re taking making you feel sick?
- Do you need help with making healthy decisions or lifestyle choices?
- Are you experiencing painful or uncomfortable symptoms that interfere with your daily life?
- Are you having problems sleeping or with your marriage or children?
- Are you experiencing stress, depression or sadness?
