Small Practice, Big Ideas
Since opening our doors in 2001, Advanced Pediatrics has earned an exemplary reputation for excellence in pediatric care in Vienna, Virginia, and throughout the National Capital Region.
Advanced Pediatrics stands out because we're an independent practice with a small clinic feel. Parents and children feel welcomed, supported, and understood with this personalized approach.
We offer well-child visits, sick visits, newborn care, mental health services, and most other care their young patients need. We emphasize inclusivity, always welcoming neurotypical, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ patients, children with mental health challenges, and children with complex medical needs.
Big Ideas:
Excellent Medical Care
Our physicians and advanced practice providers are trained at leading medical institutions and work closely with specialists throughout the region, including INOVA, Children’s National, and Johns Hopkins.
From routine checkups to more complex medical, developmental, behavioral, and mental health concerns, we care for the whole child with thoughtful, individualized treatment.
We are also proud to support pediatric clinical research that helps advance children’s healthcare and improve future treatments.
Big Ideas: Exceptional Customer Service
We believe great pediatric care goes beyond the exam room. Every member of our team — from front desk staff to nurses and providers — is committed to creating a welcoming, supportive experience for families.
Our goal is simple: listen carefully, communicate clearly, and make sure every family feels cared for and respected.
Big Ideas: Outstanding Availability
Families are busy, so we’ve built our practice around accessibility and convenience.
We offer extended weekday hours, Saturday appointments, same-day sick visits, walk-in services for acute illnesses, and 24/7 nurse advice. Whether you need urgent guidance or routine care, our team is here when you need us.
Big Ideas: Comprehensive Services
We provide many services in-office to make care easier for families, including laboratory testing, allergy testing, hearing and vision screenings, lactation support, behavioral health services, and electronic prescriptions.
As healthcare evolves, we continue expanding our services and technology to better support children and families at every stage.
