Prime Care Pediatrics

Let us introduce ourselves:

PrimeCare Pediatrics includes seven pediatricians and three pediatric nurse practitioners. All of our physicians are board-certified in pediatrics and are Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics (APP). Our nurse practitioners are registered nurses who are certified and master’s degree prepared. Their job responsibilities include many of the same functions as the pediatricians with a focus on health promotion and disease prevention. Our nurse practitioners practice independently yet have immediate access to a physician when a team approach to your child’s care is needed. While you have selected a primary physician, your child will likely meet all of our health care family at some point. We look forward to getting to know your family.
