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 Panama City
At Pediatric Associates Panama City Midtown, we do everything we can to make caring for your child as easy and convenient as possible - from minimal wait times and Saturday appointments to 24/7 telehealth through the KidzDocNow app.
Our Pediatric Associates Panama City Midtown office is on Jenks Avenue, next to Fat and Weird Cookie Headquarters and Amazing Grace Lutheran Church.
When your child is sick, you want them to feel better as soon as possible. That's why we offer same-day appointments for sick visits - call our office for assistance, or just walk in.
Sometimes, weekday visits don't work for busy families. Pediatric Associates Panama City Midtown is open every Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM for sick visits, well visits, and more.
The providers at Pediatric Associates Panama City Midtown can perform EKGs and many other types of diagnostic tests during your visit, so you get faster results.
Get care from the comfort of your home or anywhere else with the KidzDocNow app. Every staff clinician on the app is trained to provide virtual care, so you receive the same top-quality pediatric care as you would in our office.
