The practice

We grow up with you.

We see your child from their first newborn visit through their teen physical. The same providers, the same nurses, the same front-desk team. Continuity matters in pediatrics — and it has quietly disappeared from most practices.

  • Same-day sick visits, every weekday
  • After-hours nurse line · 24/7
  • Parent portal: records, refills, messages
  • No upsells · just visits and vaccines
  • School & sports forms electronic
  • Spanish, Mandarin, and Tagalog spoken

Frequently asked

From the front desk.

Other question? Email us — hello@littleriverpeds.com

Do you take my insurance?+

In-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, United, Kaiser, CareFirst, and most major plans. We verify your coverage before your first visit.

Will my child see the same doctor every visit?+

Yes. You pick a primary at intake and you see that pediatrician for routine care. For same-day sick visits, our nurse-practitioner team backs them up.

What if my kid is sick at night?+

Call (202) 555-0140 any time. After 6 PM, an experienced nurse picks up — not a service. We get back within 20 minutes.

Do you offer telehealth?+

Yes — for rashes, fevers, refills, behavior check-ins, and many follow-ups. Most insurance covers it the same as in-person.

How long is a typical visit?+

Well-child visits are 30 minutes. Sick visits are 20. We do not double-book — when it is your turn, the room is yours.
