Pediatrics

The Rockwood Pediatrics department is a group medical practice composed of pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners. Each family should select the provider of their choice. We understand that the person you choose is important, and our mission as a department is to provide your child the best care possible.

Our Pediatric Care Team

A pediatrician is a primary care physician who specializes in the care of infants, children and adolescents. General pediatrics provides for the on-going preventive medical needs for children from birth to age 21. Working as a team, our pediatric providers share their collective experience and knowledge to ensure that our young patients receive the latest diagnostic and treatment options available.  They specialize in routine, acute and chronic care including immunizations and sports physicals. With a family-centered approach to keeping children healthy, we answer your questions, provide education, and give reassurance and encouragement to you as a parent. Our pediatric physicians are also available to assist the community general practitioner or pediatrician in providing short-term, outpatient care when a second opinion, consultation or referral is needed.
