Visit our pediatric office
Pediatric Associates offers a warm, kid-friendly environment designed to ease anxiety and make every visit comfortable for both children and parents.
Behavioral health
About 3 times more boys than girls are diagnosed with ADHD. See how our pediatrician can determine a treatment plan to help your child lead a happy and healthy life.
Virtual visits
Not every health concern needs a trip to the doctor’s office. With the KidzDocNow app, your child can see a pediatrician with a video appointment right from the comfort of home.
After hours & weekend visits
We’re here for the sniffles, fevers, and “uh-oh” moments—even on evenings and weekends.

Dr. Assi always takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make both parents and kids feel comfortable and cared for.
We are so thankful for Dr. Gabriella Assi and her wonderful staff! She has been such a great doctor for our kids over the years, and we truly appreciate her care, kindness, and thoroughness. Our daughter, who is now 17, has absolutely loved having Dr. Assi as her pediatrician.

MUCH better, safer, cleaner than the old location.
This location is MUCH better, safer, cleaner than the old location. Many parents are frustrated with the new scheduling system it's much less personal and some agents in the call center have no clue! However, when you finally get an appointment and speak with the staff and Doctor's it feels like home❣️
