Procedures are performed in a safe, child-friendly setting
Pediatric Associates gives you safe, convenient access to dozens of minor medical procedures performed by trusted pediatric professionals, with labs, X-rays, and other support services available on-site in select locations.
There’s often no reason to drive to multiple facilities, sit for hours in a crowded waiting room, or get stuck with a huge emergency room bill. Always contact Pediatric Associates first to ask if we can perform the minor medical procedure(s) your child needs, so they can receive care in a place specifically designed for them.
Why trust your child’s care to a doctor you’ve never met before?
At Pediatric Associates, you also get expert care from providers who know your child and have access to their medical history, including current medications, immunizations, and lab test results.
This continuity of care helps ensure that your child receives accurate treatment and proper follow-up – without the long waits or higher costs that often come with outside care.
Services vary by location, so always call ahead to confirm availability before scheduling an appointment.
