Pediatric Services
Well Child Visits
Well child visits are a vital part of your child’s health care, and they typically follow this schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. During a check-up, we evaluate growth, development, vision, speech and hearing. These visits also provide an opportunity to discuss child safety, nutrition, accident prevention and anticipated changes in behavior and development. During some visits your child will receive immunizations and screening tests of blood and urine.
Additional Services
Well child visits and immunizations are only some of the services we offer at Pediatrics of Arlington. We are well-equipped to handle your child’s needs: everything from newborn care to sports physicals, acute care to chronic conditions. We also offer mental health care, COVID-19 antigen and PCR testing, lactation training, basic contraception, in-house laboratory services, and more.

Meet Our Physicians
Our doctors truly love caring for kids and their families. We are a team and take advantage of our providers’ backgrounds, experiences, and strengths to provide the best patient care. Each of our pediatricians is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Many of our physicians teach or serve on local medical boards and committees.
We practice as a group for your convenience and benefit. This means all the pediatricians at our practice may see your child, however, you also may specify a particular doctor when scheduling well or sick appointments. We work on a rotating call schedule, so you will never be without a pediatric provider should your child have an emergency. We hope you will take a minute to get to know us!
