Membership

Over the years, we have seen that patients and families with regular and structured care typically have the best outcome and experience. It is very important that patients seeking individualized care are seen on a regular basis to ensure efficient progress. Operating as a membership-based private practice has allowed us to limit our practice size and allow for a more personalized, caring experience for our patients.

Pediatric Membership Plans

The membership price per year varies based on the number of well-child appointments required, which decreases with age. Below you will find the price for each year based on age. Those joining the practice in between our membership years (for example, joining at 6 months or 18 months, etc.) will be prorated to a customized package for the remainder of that age year.

Our pediatric membership plans include:

• Membership Dues for the year of service that include all membership benefits listed in that section.

• In-office screenings for: anemia (Hgb), urinalysis (U/A), eye exam, hearing screen with each well-child exam.
