The Pediatricians Kansas City Families Stay With For 18+ Years

Serving Kansas City & Metro Area since 1947


Since Dr. Julius Kantor opened our doors in 1947, Children’s Mercy – Cradle Thru College Care has been providing pediatric care for Kansas City’s children. Just as Kansas City and the entire metro area has evolved over the years, our practice of pediatricians has grown to meet the needs of a thriving population of new families.


Our original pediatricians set a high standard for both personalized service and high quality medical care. That legacy lives on in our practice today. All of our doctors are board certified and committed to providing the highest quality of healthcare for your children.
