Three Years Running
Nothing means more to us than the trust of the families we serve. We are proud to have been voted Kansas City's Favorite Pediatrician for three consecutive years, and we remain committed to providing the personalized, relationship-centered care that has made our practice a trusted part of the community.
Newborn and breastfeeding support
Our team includes a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Dr. Aimy Patel, who provides personalized feeding support from your baby's very first visit. We also offer a dedicated lactation room with a comfortable nursing chair and breastfeeding pillows to help make feeding sessions as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
Lactation Support Beyond the Visit
In addition to breastfeeding guidance from Certified Breastfeeding Specialist Dr. Aimy Patel, we offer Legendairy Milk supplements and products at wholesale pricing, giving families convenient access to resources that support their feeding goals.
Same-day sick visits
Children don't get sick on a schedule. We offer same-day sick appointments every day we're open, giving families peace of mind that they'll have access to care when unexpected illnesses arise.
Telehealth Visits
Not every concern requires a trip to the office. Telehealth appointments offer a convenient option for select visits, allowing families to connect with their provider from the comfort of home.
In-House Pharmacy
Our in-house pharmacy helps families get many commonly prescribed medications quickly and conveniently, often saving an extra stop on the way home from your appointment.
Online Communication
Our secure patient portal makes it easy to send messages, request refills, review visit information, and stay connected with your child's healthcare team.
Ear Piercing Services
We offer safe ear piercing in a medical setting, providing families with peace of mind and expert care throughout the process.
