Premier Pediatrics was established in 2008 with a vision to create a pediatric practice with a personal touch. The approach was to create a medical home for your children, where they could feel safe and you could feel secure knowing that each child was not just another "chart in the rack".
Over the years our practice has grown, as have your children. Despite our growth, our faces are always familiar. We are not a revolving door practice.
