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.

A great doctors office with very nice staff. All the doctors are AMAZING but I want to give Dr. Saunders a special shout out, she is extremely informative, explains in detail and truly shows how much she cares about her patients. Best doctor at that office!!

Keeping kids healthy in Lakeland
Our practice was initially founded in the 1990s and continues to serve Lakeland children and their families to this day. We are a dedicated group of pediatric care professionals committed to ensuring that your child grows up healthy.
Pediatric Associates Lakeland Hills is located across the street from Tiger Town Stadium (the spring training home of the Detroit Tigers baseball team), just minutes from Lakeland Regional Medical Center and Lake Parker Park.
Because many families are extra-busy at the beginning of the week, Pediatric Associates Lakeland Hills stays open until 7:00 PM on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Can't get here during the week? Pediatric Associates Lakeland Hills is also open on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM for sick and well visits.
Whether your child needs a specific lab test or a routine health screening, Pediatric Associates Lakeland Hills has you covered. All in-house testing is administered by trained pediatric staff who specialize in caring for kids.
Pediatric Associates Lakeland Hills participates in the St. Jude Walk and many other community events. Supporting the Lakeland community is one of the best ways to stay involved in the growth and development of our local youth.
