We deeply value the ongoing science of medicine, and by utilizing evidence-based medicine, we can ensure we are providing the best care for our patients.

Immunizations save lives.

We understand that choosing whether or not to vaccinate is a deeply personal decision. At Wildwood Pediatrics, we do require our patients to vaccinate according to the CDC schedule, unless medically contraindicated on a case by case basis. We believe in partnering with parents to make decisions that are best to protect their children. Please see our policies page for more information.

Antibiotics must be used responsibly.

We strongly believe in using antibiotics responsibly, and endeavor to only use them when a bacterial infection is present. We do not prescribe them without thorough examination and any necessary testing. Antibiotics do not help in instances of viral infections, and may cause unintended side effects when overused or used inappropriately.

---

We believe in supporting parents.

We support parents in all stages of parenthood, understanding each new milestone brings new challenges. We’re here for you every step of the way, and firmly believe there is no question that is too insignificant or silly to ask. Our job is to provide support and guidance.

We are available when you need us.

We strive to provide timely medical care by prioritizing same-day sick appointments. Additionally, a provider is on call after-hours to answer patients’ urgent medical questions that cannot wait until the next business day. We know that kids usually don’t wait until business hours to get sick or injured!
