Pediatrics
From routine check-ups to emergency and hospital care, Providence provides child-centered, compassionate and trusted care – for newborns, children and teens.
At Providence, our pediatric specialists don’t just treat your child’s illness. We treat the whole person in a caring, supportive environment that puts the entire family at ease. Our pediatric units are specially designed with age appropriate medical equipment and staffed with caring nurses and medical personnel trained to meet the specialized needs of developing children and adolescents.
Your family's health matters, now more than ever. Comprehensive personalized care makes it easy to manage your health.
We offer online scheduling, virtual visits and online messaging with your provider, any time. Enjoy back-to-back sibling appointments to help juggle your busy schedule. Log-in or sign up for MyChart.
When you need care now, we are here for you. We offer same-day appointments (in-person and virtual) and evening hours in our clinics. And if outside those hours, you have access to care through ExpressCare and Urgent Care locations. Search now for VirtualExpressCare, ExpressCare and Urgent Care locations near you.
Our compassionate doctors, nurse practitioners and provider teams specialize in caring for infants, children and young adults. And if it’s ever needed, our pediatricians are connected to specialists at local hospitals and can help you coordinate care for other specialty services.
We work with a variety of health insurers. Please check with your insurance company to learn more about your specific coverage.
When you choose a Providence pediatrician, you're choosing more than a primary care doctor or clinic location for your kids. You're choosing an integrated network of caregivers, specialists and clinical programs dedicated to compassionate, patient-centered health care.

We respect the fact that you are your child's strongest advocate, so we believe in working in partnership with you to keep you as informed and involved in your child’s care as possible. Being on the leading edge of pediatric and developmental research means we help parents take an active role in their children’s healing and well-being.
In order to comfort our young patients and help them see the foreign hospital environment as something familiar and less intimidating, we involve parents in every activity, from feeding and diaper changes, to playtime and cuddling.
The last thing anyone wants is for their child to be hospitalized. For those unfortunate cases, we’re here to help. This is why many of our hospitals are equipped with technology designed to handle pediatric surgery, orthopedics, urology and other pediatric subspecialties, as well as inpatient and outpatient pediatric surgeries.
Along with comprehensive neonatal intensive care units and an extensive network of pediatricians, many of our hospitals provide pediatric care that is grounded in evidence based medicine.
Many Providence hospitals and clinics offer a wide range of specialized health care services for children. From routine check-ups to pediatric critical care, our goal is to offer each parent and child the care essential to healthy living. Our pediatric specialty services include:
