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 Palatka
Kids Care Pediatrics offers extended care on weekdays and 24/7 access to care through our telehealth services. Whether you visit us in the office or virtually, you can always count on Kids Care Pediatrics to provide your family with top-quality care.
Kids Care Pediatrics is located on Old Wolf Bay Road, across the street from HCA Florida Putnam Hospital and near St. Johns River State College.
Parenting doesn't end at 5 PM, and your pediatric provider's office hours shouldn't end either. We're open until 7:00 PM Monday through Thursday for families who need extra time to get here after work, school, or other weekday commitments.
Kids Care Pediatrics has same-day appointments available for all clinicians. We also try our best to accommodate walk-ins, based on real-time arrivals and no-shows. Our staff will do everything we can to get your child seen.
Using the KidzDocNow app, you can also schedule a virtual telehealth visit. Every staff clinician on the app is trained to provide virtual care, ensuring that you receive the same top-quality pediatric care as you would in our office.
When your child is sick or needs a routine screening, Kids Care Pediatrics is here to help. Instead of sending tests to an outside lab, we process them right here on site for faster results.
