  • Antibiotic Policy

    We strive to minimize antibiotic overuse by educating families on proper use and adhering to evidence-based guidelines for responsible prescribing. Since many illnesses are viral and don't require antibiotics, our pediatricians explain alternative treatments and emphasize the importance of natural healing when appropriate. 


    Furthermore, we avoid prescribing antibiotics over the phone, as we believe in conducting proper assessments before doing so. Antibiotics are prescribed only when necessary and appropriate, ensuring patient well-being while mitigating the risks of antibiotic resistance and unnecessary side effects.

  • Appointment Policy

    We respect everyone's time and kindly ask that you arrive 5 minutes early for your appointment. While we understand delays happen, late arrivals may need to reschedule to keep us on schedule. 


    Missed or canceled appointments without 24-hour notice may incur a fee, as they impact our clinicians, staff, and other patients.

  • Technology Policy

    Our practice values efficiency by utilizing technology. We encourage you to visit our website, register for our patient portal, and use automated reminders for appointments and routine care or immunizations when available.

  • Vaccine Policy

    Pediaplace Pediatrics will not be able to care for families that choose not to vaccinate their children. As of March 1, 2017, we have revised our vaccine policy to strictly follow the recommendations of the AAP vaccination guidelines. We stopped accepting families that do not vaccinate their children for routine vaccine preventable illnesses without a valid medical exemption.


    For many years our physicians have done their best to support families who are concerned about vaccinating their children. Our philosophy has been to provide reasoned information that can help alleviate those concerns and ultimately encourage all parents to comply with the recommendations of the medical community. Unfortunately, there are a fair number of families that choose not to vaccinate their children and the amount is growing.


    The physicians at Pediaplace Pediatrics have struggled with this decision but due to the increased potential for our infants and children with chronic medical problems being exposed to vaccine preventable diseases within our facility, we decided to change our vaccine policy. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you and your family. We strive to support you to provide the best medical care for your child/children and vaccines are an important part of that care.
