Rockville

Doctors are amazing with my kids and we have been with the practice for many years.

Silver Spring

Great practice very easy to schedule an appt! Loveeee them at silver spring and wheaton locations

Olney

Staff is overall friendly. Waiting rooms and exam rooms are very dated. It is a group of providers, so if you want to see the same Dr or PA, make sure you request that as you are booking. The practitioners seem to rotate offices, so not every physician is available at your location every day.

Wheaton

So far we have been going here a year and had a great experience every time. With Covid you have to call before coming up which makes the whole process a lot more streamlined. Most appointments take 15-20 minutes max and they’re always great about answering all questions.

COVID-19 Vaccine for Ages 5–17

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends children ages 5 and older receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Johns Hopkins Medicine encourages all families with eligible children to get the appropriate COVID-19 vaccine. Read more information on getting a vaccine for your child.
