Our mission is to provide our patients with excellent evidence-based medical care from birth to early adulthood by building long-term relationships on trust and mutual respect.

We believe in the prevention of disease and promotion of healthy lifestyles and resilience for all children. We practice medicine as a team and value the contributions of all of our staff in providing efficient, cost-effective, compassionate, and committed care during times of health as well as in times of illness.

As health care professionals and devoted caregivers, we strive to deliver the healthcare we would expect for our own families. We provide clinical expertise to parents as well as other health professionals.

The fundamental values that form the foundation of our practice are:

• Quality. We are committed to the highest standards and achieve them by maintaining ongoing continuous education and promoting professional development through leadership and advocacy roles at the local, state, and national levels.  
• Innovation. We welcome change, encourage invention, and continually seek better, more efficient ways to achieve our goals.
• Equity. We embrace and find strength in the diversity of our patients, their families, staff, and community. We believe all children deserve exceptional care, the best outcomes, respect, and a safe environment.
• Teamwork. We collaborate and share knowledge to benefit children and fellow caregivers for the advancement of our mission.
• Integrity. We adhere to high moral principles and professional standards by a commitment to honesty, confidentiality, trust, respect, and transparency.
• Compassion. We demonstrate our commitment to world-class care by providing a caring and supportive environment for our patients, patients' families, and fellow caregivers.
• Resource. We empower parents and patients with the education and knowledge to promote the optimal health and well-being of children and families.
