Front desk staff is polite, helpful, and very patient.

This place always takes good care of us. Front desk staff is polite, helpful, and very patient. At my last visit I was next to a very rude patient and every staff member (Tay, Kendrianna, and Stephanie ) that interacted with her remained calm and professional. It was nice to see. I understand how hard that was and they handled it phenomenally.

eases my first time mom anxiety.

We love Dr. Derek and the rest of the staff at Pediatric Associates! First, we attended one of their newborn basics classes before our little guy was born which was very informative and also allowed us to get a feel for their office. Then we booked with them as soon as our baby was born and have no regrets! Dr. Derek explains things in a way that is easy to understand but also eases my first time mom anxiety.

Elizabeth J.

have ALWAYS been amazing.

I have been using pediatric associates since 2016 back when they were just future pediatrics and they have ALWAYS been amazing Dr Derek and Jessica are the best ones there BY FAR and Dr lynn. This is the ONLY pediatric doctor I use in bay county and will continue to use they have seen all my kids and all my kids absolutely love them as much as I do. You will never go wrong by going to see these 3 doctors as this pediatric clinic I promise you. They will rule out any illness possible and do their upmost best to find the source of the illness no matter how many visits it takes! They make you feel like family
