Pediatric Care in Gilbert

The point of having a pediatric practice rather than a walk-in clinic is that someone knows your child. Knows what their growth curve looks like, that the last ear infection was in March, that this is the third sore throat since school started. That history is what turns a ten-minute appointment into a useful one.

We see children from their first newborn visit through adolescence, in the same practice that looks after their parents.

What we look after

Well-child visits The schedule is frequent in the first two years and annual after that, tied to immunisations. Growth plotted against history rather than measured once, developmental milestones, vision and hearing screening at the recommended ages, and time for the question you have been carrying since the last visit. → Well-child visits

Same-week sick visits Fevers, ear infections, sore throats, rashes, coughs that will not settle. These do not wait politely for an opening, so call in the morning and we will find you a time that day or the next. → How to reach us

Immunizations On the recommended schedule, with catch-up plans for children who are behind — including children new to the practice, new to Arizona, or whose records need chasing. We will do the chasing. → Immunizations

Asthma and allergies Arizona is its own allergy environment, and the national advice does not always fit it. Diagnosis, trigger identification, an action plan the school will accept, and adjustment as a child grows. → Asthma → Allergy season in Arizona

School and sports physicals Cleared for the season, on the forms your district actually uses. Worth booking alongside a well-child visit rather than instead of one — a sports physical is a narrower examination with a different purpose, and it is not a substitute. → Sports physicals

Behavioural and mental health Attention, anxiety, mood, sleep, school difficulties. Raise any of them with your child's provider, at a well-child visit or on their own; we will talk it through with you, offer guidance, and arrange a referral when one is needed. → Children's mental health

When something is not right Persistent coughs, stomach pain, bedwetting, headaches, a child who is just not themselves. Bring it. “I am probably overreacting” is a sentence we hear often and it is almost never true.

When to call us, and when to go elsewhere

Call us the same day for:

Any fever in an infant under one month A fever with a stiff neck, a rash that does not fade under pressure, or unusual drowsiness Difficulty breathing, or breathing that looks like hard work Dehydration — no wet nappy in eight hours, no tears, a dry mouth A child who is unusually hard to wake

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for:

a seizure, unresponsiveness, a serious injury, a suspected poisoning, or breathing you are frightened by. Do not drive to a clinic with a child who is struggling to breathe.

Not sure? Call and ask. Sorting out where a child needs to be seen is part of what we do, and we would rather answer that question early.

Practical things

New to the practice? We will request records from your previous pediatrician before the first visit, so the appointment is spent on your child rather than on paperwork. → New patients Insurance We accept most major plans. → Accepted insurance After hours What to do when we are closed — the go-tonight list and the wait-for-morning list. → After-hours care Results, records, and refills Go through the patient portal rather than phone tag. → Patient portal ↗
