Our pediatric primary care team has special training in caring for kids of all ages. They focus on your child’s physical, mental, developmental, and social health needs and well-being.

Pediatric doctors are often your child’s primary family doctor during childhood. Some children keep their pediatrician into young adulthood.

Family physicians are primary care doctors who practice family medicine. They can care for kids and adults from birth to old age.

It’s safe to say, many kids don’t like going to the doctor. At Carilion, we want to make healthcare a positive experience for your child. It starts with our pediatric offices. They're welcoming spaces designed to put your child at ease.

Our pediatric doctors, nurses, and staff provide care tailored to your child. We focus on building trust and lasting relationships with families. Each child has their own care team who handles their care as they grow. This helps make sure your child gets the care they need, when they need it.

We take care of your child’s health when they get sick or get minor injuries. During regular well-baby and well-child visits, primary care pediatrics provides care and advice to prevent illness.
