Special Needs

We believe in being a medical home for all kids. Children with complex illnesses and special needs are always welcome here. We offer chronic illness management, close coordination with subspecialists and other providers, and we respect your extensive knowledge of your child and their needs. Our office exceeds ADA requirements and includes accessible exam tables, wheelchair scales and a push-button entrance.

Resources

Understanding and navigating the resources for kids with chronic illness and special needs can be challenging. Here are some helpful explanations and links. We also have parents who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences.
