We offer complete immunization services following CDC guidelines, including travel vaccines. Our practice maintains proper vaccine storage and administration protocols while providing education about vaccine safety and scheduling requirements for school attendance.
Sick Child Care
Same-day appointments address acute illnesses and injuries. Our diagnostic capabilities include rapid strep tests, flu screenings, and respiratory panels. We manage common childhood conditions while coordinating referrals for complex cases requiring specialized care at affiliated medical centers.
