34 years ago today, Northpointe Pediatrics opened its doors!
We are so grateful to our many patient families for placing their trust in us through the years to help keep their children (and now grandchildren!) safe and healthy.
What an awesome privilege it is to watch "our" kids grow up and to now be caring for a second generation of children.
We would like to thank all of our wonderful staff who have helped us achieve that goal through the years. Our Northpointe “Family” is a very special group of people and we truly appreciate all they do everyday!
Thanks, too, from the providers to our mentors and colleagues who shared and still share their knowledge and "art of caring for kids" with all of us!

With heavy hearts, we want to share that our longtime medical assistant, Louise DiMambro, passed away last night. Louise was one of Northpointe Pediatrics’ original employees, starting here almost 34 years ago, when the practice first opened its doors.
She worked part-time with us at first, because she was also working with the local, beloved pediatrician, Dr. Gennaro (Jerry) DiMaso, who was preparing to retire.
She then worked with us full time for many years, even coming out of retirement to help us out when we needed her.

Louise was a truly special person and she was amazing with our patients and their families. Her dedication and work ethic were admirable.
Her friendly demeanor and smiling face helped put everyone at ease.
She treated everyone like family. She took the best care of all of us - patients, parents and colleagues - over the years and she will be dearly missed.

We have many memorable, funny, touching “Louise” stories that make us smile and we suspect many of our patient families feel the same.

Please keep her children and grandchildren, family and friends in your prayers.

📝⚽🏀🏈🏐 Sports Physical UPDATE: There has been a change in the requirments for Michigan sports physical guidelines, from the MHSAA. These guidelines are established at the state level and are not a policy created by our office.

Under the current requirements, a sports physical must be completed on or after April 15 to be valid for the upcoming school year. If a child's Annual Wellness exam was completed before April 15, we are unfortunately unable to complete a sports physical form from that visit, even if it occurred within the last year.

In these situations, we can offer a separate Sports Physical for $25. These appointments are often also available for same day. This visit is specifically for a sports clearance only, and does not replace the annual wellness exam, and is not covered by insurance.👩‍⚕️👩‍⚕️
