Dear Families,

Feedback from our parents is incredibly valuable to us. Many of you shared that you prefer waiting in your vehicles instead of the waiting room, specifically to avoid catching a sickness right after a well-child physical exam.

While we maintain designated "well child" and "sick child" seating areas, we know firsthand how difficult it is to keep curious children from exploring the whole room. To minimize the spread of illnesses and respect your preferences, our providers have decided to permanently offer flexible waiting options.

If you prefer to wait in your vehicle:
Please notify our front desk upon arrival by phone. We will check you in remotely and contact you as soon as your provider's exam room is completely ready for you.

If you prefer to wait inside:
Our main waiting room remains open and available to you.

Our goal is to provide a safe, stress-free environment for your family. Thank you for partnering with us in keeping our community healthy!

The end of an incredible era! ❤️
Today was filled with tears, laughter and gratitude as we celebrated Dr Vanderhoof’s final day before retirement. While we will miss her deeply, she has more than earned this next chapter. We would like to thank her for all the years of hard work and dedication. We wish her endless days of relaxation, great books and making beautiful memories with her husband, children & grandbabies.
