Pediatric Services at Our Silver Spring Office

Well Child Visits

Consistent preventive care is the best gift for your child. Our well-child visits follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' schedule, from newborn checkups to annual teen visits. At each appointment, our Silver Spring providers monitor growth, conduct screenings, maintain vaccine schedules, and answer your questions.

Mental Health

Emotional and behavioral well-being are just as important as physical health. Our Mental Health Clinic supports Silver Spring children and families facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other emotional challenges, with individualized care plans built in partnership with you.

Chronic Care Management

Raising a child with a chronic condition or disability often means juggling multiple specialists. We manage medications for ADHD, anxiety, and depression in-house, helping cut down on the number of appointments your family needs to keep track of.
