Are we a good fit?
Selecting the right pediatrician for your child is a significant decision. It is vital to find a pediatrician whose beliefs and practices regarding health and well-being closely match those of your family.
We provide a welcoming environment.
We want our office to be a safe place for your family, and as such we do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Families come in many shapes, and we support those families.
We are a vaccinating practice.
At Summer Pediatrics, we are committed to ensuring that all children receive the necessary vaccinations as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the CDC. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our comprehensive vaccine policy.
We practice as a group.
In our practice, we work as a team to prioritize your convenience and your child’s well-being. This means that any provider in our practice can see your child for same-day appointments. Same-day appointments will be scheduled with the first available clinician. Our dedicated team of physician associates works closely with our doctors to ensure that your family receives the best possible care.
