The holidays are a time for reflection, celebration, and connection, and we are so grateful for the trust you've placed in us to care for your children. Whether it was a routine check-up, a sick visit, or a milestone moment, we’ve cherished every opportunity to partner with you in your child’s growth and development.

Calling Artists of All Ages!
We are always collecting artwork from our patients to hang in the exam rooms. We have enjoyed seeing the great work and displaying it around our offices. Please bring in artwork at your next visit, send it in the mail or drop it off at any of the locations. 8 ½ x 11 art will fit best but we will work with anything we receive. We will not be able to return your artwork but know that it will be displayed in the office. Your choice if you sign it or keep us guessing who the next Picasso is in the practice.

The Mental Health Benefits of Getting Outside in the Cold
|
|
|
|
The cold weather is officially upon us but don’t let that stop you from getting your kids and family outside! Although it takes more prep to get outside in the cold, the health benefits are worth it. Make getting outside a habit all year long!
The colder months often bring feelings of isolation, lethargy, or even Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). However, stepping outside—even in the cold—can do wonders for your mental well-being.
Here’s why braving the chill is worth it and how you can make it a habit this winter.
