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.

A message from our regional medical director

At Pediatric Associates, we’re passionate about keeping Lakeland’s kids healthy and happy. Guided by our core values—Care, Accessibility, Reliability, and Excellence—we’re proud to support families like yours with trusted, innovative pediatric care. Whether you’re new or a long-time patient, thank you for trusting us. We look forward to being part of your health journey.
