Visit our pediatric office
Pediatric Associates offers a warm, kid-friendly environment designed to ease anxiety and make every visit comfortable for both children and parents.
Behavioral health
About 3 times more boys than girls are diagnosed with ADHD. See how our pediatrician can determine a treatment plan to help your child lead a happy and healthy life.
Virtual visits
Not every health concern needs a trip to the doctor’s office. With the KidzDocNow app, your child can see a pediatrician with a video appointment right from the comfort of home.
After hours & weekend visits
We’re here for the sniffles, fevers, and “uh-oh” moments—even on evenings and weekends.

Keeping kids healthy in Jacksonville
Patients choose our practice because we offer compassionate, personalized care focused entirely on kids. We take the time to listen and build trust with families, provide flexible same-day appointments, and create a welcoming environment where children feel safe and cared for at every visit.
Formerly known as First Coast Pediatrics of Jacksonville, River City is located in Duval Station Office Park (off Highway 17, near Airport Center Drive). The office is close to River City Marketplace, Jacksonville International Airport, and more.
Life doesn't always go according to schedule, especially for busy families. Kids get sick. Plans change. When you need a same-day appointment, call River City first. We will happily schedule your child for the next available time slot.
River City also offers convenient telehealth visits - all you need is a phone, tablet, or computer to get started. We can treat many minor illnesses and injuries virtually, such as cold and flu symptoms, allergies, pink eye, rashes, ear pain, and more. Every staff clinician is trained to provide virtual care, ensuring that you receive the same top-quality pediatric care as you would in our office.
If your child has special needs, River City provides extra time during each visit to ensure they receive personalized, attentive care in a comfortable environment. We want every patient to feel at home.
The pediatric experts at River City understand the unique developmental stages and healthcare needs of children as they age. We treat patients from birth to age 21 and all the years in between. From preventive care to sick visits to managing chronic health conditions, we have your child covered.
