  • Children in bright colors with arms wrapped around each other

    Adolescence

    As children enter their school-age years, new concerns may arise around learning, focus, friendships, and emotional development. Routine visits, physicals, and age-appropriate guidance help us keep your children stay healthy, active, and confident.

After your child’s registration is approved, we’ll send you a text message with instructions for booking their first visit. You can use the included link to schedule online or complete the process by text. If you experience any difficulties, contact your nearest SouthernMED Pediatrics office for assistance.
