We are a group of extensively trained and experienced pediatric physicians and nurse practitioners offering comprehensive primary care to infants, children, and adolescent patients through high school. We work as a team with a unified philosophy of medical practice. We consult with one another on a regular basis and want you to feel comfortable with each of us. We are parents ourselves and seek to provide care with the degree of professionalism and compassion we would expect for our own children and families. We strive for a mutually respectful and thriving partnership with your family, with a common ultimate goal: your child’s health and well-being.
At Ellenton Pediatrics, parents can be assured that their children will receive the individualized, personalized attention they deserve. We care about both the emotional and physical needs of our young patients and their families. During your visits, we will discuss not only the physical health of your child but also other age-appropriate issues such as social adjustment, safety, growth and development, discipline, sleep habits, nutrition, behavioral, emotional, and learning problems. We will work with families, teachers, school nurses, and other medical providers and specialists to help identify and treat the multitude of challenges that children face as they grow.
Children are not simply small adults. When they are ill, they often present different symptoms and need different prescriptions and treatments than adults do. Our medical training, experience, and collaboration in care are designed to help us recognize something more serious when we see it, and know when to reassure a parent and child when it is not. We place emphasis on providing you with information that is clear and comprehensive, and in involving you in all the decisions relating to the care of your child.
