Services

Well Child Visits

Preventive care is central to our mission. Our well child visit schedule aligns with the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, covering newborn check-ups to annual physicals for older children and teens. During these visits, your pediatrician assesses your child's growth, provides immunizations, answers questions, and offers age-appropriate guidance to support your child's development.

Behavioral Health

We recognize that a child's well-being extends beyond physical health. Collaborating with community mental health providers, our team supports children with behavioral health issues like anxiety, depression, inattention, and school difficulties. We adopt a whole-child approach and are here to guide your family through these challenges with compassion and expertise.

Sports Physicals

Is your child gearing up for a new sports season? Mount Meeker Pediatrics' sports physicals give you peace of mind by ensuring your young athlete is healthy, fit, and ready to participate. Regular physicals are an important part of preventive care, and our pediatrician is happy to accommodate sports physical appointments to fit your family's schedule.
