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.

The entire visit felt calm, efficient, and reassuring.

We had a great experience today. I called the office to describe my 2-year-old’s symptoms, and the person I spoke with was polite, helpful, and thorough. They recommended we come in and helped schedule an appointment right away—we were seen within the hour, which I really appreciated. Dr. Christina Smith was attentive, engaging, and very respectful of my toddler. She took the time to explain what she was seeing, provided clear guidance for treatment, and gave straightforward instructions for follow-up. The entire visit felt calm, efficient, and reassuring. Overall, an excellent experience, especially during a stressful moment as a parent. Highly recommend.

Mrs. Spivey was very helpful with checking us in.

I would like to give recognition to Brian, Greg and Latanya Spivey at this location. My daughter had a well check on Saturday November 8th at 10:45am. Mrs. Spivey was very helpful with checking us in because the new system would not allow me to Pre-Checkin ahead of time so when we got there, our paperwork was ready to go. The whole staff there that Saturday we're amazing. As soon as we sought down, Greg called us in and handled my daughter with 100% care, from beginning to the end. He explained everything he would be doing in the visit and even when it came to my daughter to receive her three injections, his professional kept me calm. Brian, is such a sweetie. He made our visit so relaxed and he listened to my daughter's concerns.We didn't feel like another number or rushed. Since I've been living in PSL and going to this location, I prefer my daughter's to always see Brian. Thank y'all so much for always taking such good care of my daughter's, since our first visit.

She educated my son on how to further improve his eating habits.

ARNP, Ms. Kerryann Daley was amazing. She educated my son on how to further improve his eating habits to help his digestive system. Ms. Daley was extremely professional and willing to take her time to listen. She was thorough and kind. She made our family’s visit with Pediatric Associates in St. Lucie West, very pleasant.

Great doctors and nurses.

Great doctors and nurses. RUDE RECEPTIONISTS ALMOST EVERY TIME. And looks like we are not the only ones that have had this kind of experience. My daughter has gone to this practice since she was born. And we don’t want to switch doctors, but please do something about these rude ladies at the front desk.

The process was on time with my appointment.

The process was on time with my appointment. The staff were so nice. I only had one problem and it could have been me . But I felt as a man taking his daughter to see the Dr. I felt a little discriminated against by the nurse because the mother was not present.

Forrest E.

Absolutely love the waiting room & rooms themselves.
