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.

eases my first time mom anxiety.
We love Dr. Derek and the rest of the staff at Pediatric Associates! First, we attended one of their newborn basics classes before our little guy was born which was very informative and also allowed us to get a feel for their office. Then we booked with them as soon as our baby was born and have no regrets! Dr. Derek explains things in a way that is easy to understand but also eases my first time mom anxiety.

Kendrianna always has an inviting smile on her face and makes you feel welcome. She has exceptional customer service and if there’s something she can’t answer doesn’t mind finding out the info for you. I always look forward to seeing her at my kids appts. Can’t thank her enough for being so kind and welcoming to others. Great group of young ladies working for this practice. Highly recommend them.

He's one of the rare greats that is thorough, listens as well as explains and sincerely cares!
My daughter has been a patient of Derek's since she was close to a year old and our son since 14 years old, couldn't imagine having any other doctor for her. He's one of the rare greats that is thorough, listens as well as explains and sincerely cares! I have and will always recommend him and his office to anyone looking for a pediatrician!
