Pediatrics

The pediatricians at SouthCoast Health see the world of medicine through a child's eyes. That's just one of the reasons our Pediatrics Department has earned such a sterling reputation for leading-edge, high-quality care among parents in the community. Our physicians treat kids of all ages—from newborns and infants to growing children and adolescents as old as age 21.

Each SouthCoast Health pediatrician is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and has trained exclusively in pediatrics for three years after medical school to learn to diagnose and treat a wide range of childhood illnesses. We combine that highly specialized training with excellent communication skills and an engaging manner, creating an environment in which children are more comfortable and parents are less stressed. We then work closely with parents to educate them on the healthcare needs of their children as they progress through various growth stages.

We understand that kids get sick and need medical attention after normal business hours. We are excited to announce that you no longer have to wait for our office to open to make a sick appointment.  You can now schedule your child's sick visit on our patient portal.  You must have a patient portal account to schedule appointments.  Learn how to schedule sick visits in this video.

Also, we are pleased to offer urgent care on weekday evenings and weekend hours on Saturdays and Sundays. In addition, a physician serves on-call with our nurse answering service to provide advice for your concerns whenever our offices are closed.
