Our Pediatric Clinic’s History
On September 7, 2010, three pediatric centers officially combined their practices to become North Carolina Pediatric Associates. We are still the same experienced team you’ve relied on since 1982; we just have a new name!
North Carolina Pediatric Associates is dedicated to providing patients with the consistent and thorough care they deserve. Our offices offer complete care for newborns, toddlers, and teenagers, from preventive health care to diagnosing and treating acute and chronic diseases. Our services strongly emphasize childhood immunizations and yearly wellness exams.
Please take a moment to get to know our providers (listed below) that make this possible. Call or visit one of our three locations today to learn more about our staff or our services.
