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. Priscilla Vallejo is a sweetheart.
(Translated by Google) Dr. Priscilla Vallejo is a sweetheart. It was my first time at this clinic, and I decided to leave my children with them because I loved Priscilla's care and compassion for my baby, who was very sick with a virus. She lovingly helped and treated my little girl, and she's improving thanks to her and God. I will always be very grateful to you, Doctor, and to the staff. 🙏 (Original) La doctora Priscilla Vallejo es un amor mi primera vez con esa clínica y decidí dejar a mis niños con ellos porque me encantó el trato y la compasión de Priscila por mi bebé que la llevé malita con un virus y ella con mucho amor me ayudó y me trató a mi niña, mi niña está mejorando gracias a ella y a Dios. Siempre estaré muy agradecida con usted doctora y con el staff. 🙏

The level of attention is great. My children often feel at ease. The doctors consider the parents input about the child. The nurse practitioners are as knowledgeable as the doctors.
