Pediatric Services at Our Rockville Office

Well Child Visits

Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong health. Our well child visits follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommended schedule. At every visit, we track growth and development, complete age-appropriate screenings, administer vaccines, and make time for your questions.

Sick Child Visits

Ear infections, fevers, coughs, rashes - when your child isn't feeling well, our Rockville team is ready with same-day sick visits. We also offer walk-in virtual visits and after-hours telehealth, so Rockville families never have to wonder where to turn, even outside regular office hours.

Sports Physicals

Numerous schools in Rockville and local youth sports leagues mandate an annual Sports Clearance Exam. By scheduling a sports physical for your child, you provide the doctor with the chance to assess your child's health and fitness levels, and decide if they are ready for participation in sports or school activities.
