Baptist Pediatrics Main Content
At Baptist Pediatrics, our mission is to partner with you to provide quality health care for your child, from birth through adolescence. As advocates for your child’s health and wellbeing, we believe in the importance of preventive health care.
COVID-19 Updates
- Visits to our Baptist Pediatrics offices are by appointment only.
- Only 1 healthy adult is allowed with the scheduled patient, and we would prefer that you don't bring siblings.
- We now offer Virtual Care (online doctor visit). Please contact our office for details and appointments.
- For more information about COVID-19, see the latest from Baptist Health and Wolfson Children's Hospital.
Infants, children and teens
We provide comprehensive well care for your child, beginning with newborn care. Each visit follows national guidelines for scheduling visits, physical examinations, providing guidance on stages of growth and development, and administering immunizations. We gladly complete all school, sports, camp and daycare forms during these visits.
Sick visits vs. well visits
Timely appointments for children who are ill are scheduled separately from well visits. We separate types of appointments by day so sick children are not mixed with well children.
