Pediatric Healthcare Providers in Ontario, OR
Our Story
On October 10, 2014 we opened the doors to our new office, realizing our dream to have our own Pediatric clinic in the Treasure Valley. We are licensed and certified to give medical care
to infants, children, and adolescents. Parents and patients can expect our clinic to have a warm, efficient, and supportive environment. The foundation of our well-child care philosophy is Anticipatory Guidance, timely professional pediatric advice given at every check-up to help you keep your child healthy and safe.
In June of 2019 we expanded our Pediatric care to include Behavioral Health. We have added 3 full time LCSW’s to our staff to assist our Pediatric community with behavioral health care. We anticipate that we will continue to grow this area of our practice as the needs of our patients change.
