A New kind of Practice...
Thank you for visiting the Whole Child Pediatrics home page. This is a new type of pediatric practice. Everything in the practice revolves around three main themes:
1. Patient Centeredness:
We believe that our families/patients have a huge vital role to play in healthcare. We view our families/patients as equal partners in the quest for improving health.
In the 21st century there is an unprecedented amount of health related information available to everyone with an internet connection. We strongly believe that in this day and age the role of the physician is to help families navigate this huge ocean of information and to be a guide and an information broker.
An informed, active, empowered family/patient in partnership with their pediatrician can then make the best decision for their child.
2. The Medical Home:
Our vision is to function as a High Quality Medical Home. The characteristics of a High Quality Medical home include:
- Excellent patient access and office efficiency: Our vision is for any of our families to be able to get an appointment with the doctor within 4 hours of calling, the same day with waiting in the office kept as a minimum
- Maximum Coordination and integration of care supported by an Electronic Medical Record and other electronic tools.
- Ongoing two way communication with the physician facilitated by phone calls, office visits, secure email communication.
- Continuous practice performance measurement and improvement.
3. Health Maximization:
Our practice is here to help your child reach his/her highest potential. We look to improve any areas where your child might have challenges in the future. We believe that it is much better to identify and treat any problem early on than later when it becomes a concern. For this we offer offer unique services available to your children such as guided imagery, biofeedback, complete nutritional assessments, and developmental and school evaluations.
