At TLC PEDIATRICS our passion is to create and provide an environment where all children will feel welcome. We provide our patients with the best and most comprehensive care possible from birth to 19 years of age. Our mission is to provide excellent medical care in a family centered environment.

We rely on families to work with the providers to make the best healthcare decisions as a team for the patient. We strive to create partnering relationships built on trust and mutual respect with patients and families. As most of us know, children are not just “little humans,” they require special care and considerations during examination, diagnosis, and treatment. We promise to take the upmost care of your children and treat them as we would our own. Lastly, we believe in the ethical practice of medicine, providing leadership throughout the community, and providing service to those in our community in need.



Covid testing and antibody testing





We do nasopharyngeal testing for our patients. These take about 24 to 36 hours to get results and are more reliable than the rapid testing. This is done by appointment only and is car side service.


The Antibody test is open to anyone and to all ages. The antibody test can show if you have had COVID within the past 2-3 months We ask that you call to set up an appointment. This test is good for: if you think you had COVID over 2 weeks ago, if you tested negative for COVID 2 weeks ago but was sure you had it, or before getting the vaccination to know for sure if you still have antibodies in your system. This is good to know because it is being shown that if you have antibodies then your more likely to have the normal side effects from the vaccination. This is not covered by insurance and we are only charging $30 for the test!



Services





Same day sick appointments



We pride ourselves on offering you same day sick appointments. We all know that when kids are sick, they can not wait a couple of days to be seen for acute illness. ​



Newborn Care



Every baby is a little miracle and should be treated as such. We know that having a baby can be scary, so we promise to be there every step of the way.



Well Child and Health Monitoring



Keeping up with well child appointments is extremely important. We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics well child visit schedule outlined in the link above ​at right hand side "Well Child and Health Monitoring."



Immunizations



Immunizations are important to protect people from serious communicable childhood diseases. In accordance with the guidelines established through the American Academy of Pediatrics and the United States Public Health Service, we feel every child should receive these important vaccines. Our office only accepts patients that are immunized and/or working towards being fully immunized within the recommended intervals.​ See the link above at the right side "Immunizations."



Sports, school and camp physicals



At TLC Pediatrics, we are committed to keeping your children healthy and active. We will do a full examination to ensure your child is healthy enough for sports. Please allow up to a 48 hour turn around on all sports physical forms. ​



Injuries



Sprain or Fracture?


It is important to check with your provider when your child is complaining about pain over a bone area. They are more likely to fracture a bone than have a strain. We do minor treatment for sprain and fractures and can/will refer out to specialist as needed


Minor cuts and Stitches?


Here at TLC Pediatrics, we offer treatment for minor cuts and can do minor stitches as well, depending on the child's compliance for stitches. We offer liquid bandage as well.
