Big Ideas: Excellent Medical Care

Educated and trained at some of the finest medical institutions in the country, our doctors and nurse practitioners are here to provide medical care for your children -- from newborns to your college aged child. We offer well child visits (check-ups), sick and consultation appointments. In addition to routine pediatric care , many of our providers have extensive experience caring for children with asthma, food allergies, eczema, reflux, obesity, behavior, developmental and mental health concerns. Our providers are well respected in the medical community and work closely with pediatric specialists at INOVA Children's Hospital in Fairfax, VA, Children's National Medical Center in Washington DC, and Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, MD. Through these relationships, other learning initiatives and of course, by being parents themselves, our providers are constantly enhancing their clinical skills to provide the best care for your children.
Our doctors not only provide exemplary care, they have contributed to the study and development of new medications, vaccinations, and diagnostic tests. This research tradition spans more than 15 years and elevates Advanced Pediatrics as an innovator in children's health care. While participation in research studies is ALWAYS optional, families are often eager to join in on the fun.

Big Ideas: Exceptional Customer Service

How many times have you walked into a medical office to be frowned at by the receptionist? Or left the office not knowing if those labs drawn would be reported to you? Did you ever wonder if the nurse who just helped you even knows your child's name? Not so at Advanced Pediatrics where every staff member is part of a team. From the nurses on the phone day and night, to every person you encounter during your visit, we aim to leave you confident that we know your child, listened to your concerns and have provided optimal medical care and advice.
We hire people who are smart, determined and committed to helping you and your family. It may start with the front desk or nursing staff helping you make an appointment, peak with the doctor caring for your child, and then may end with the nurse calling to see that your child is getting better as expected, to discuss test results, or facilitate a referral. Every person has to be at their best to provide the care that you and your family deserve.

Big Ideas: Outstanding Availability

Recognizing that our families live in one of the most hectic metropolitan corridors in the country, we continue to develop services that increase our availability and improve flexibility for busy families. We are open 26 hours beyond the usual 9-5 - including Saturday hours - and offer 44 hours of walk-in clinic each week for evaluation of acute illnesses. For those that prefer scheduled appointments, same-day sick appointments are also available. Appointments are also available to better evaluate chronic or recurrent health issues.
Unsure if you need an appointment? Our nurse line is staffed by our very own nurses and is available around the clock to answer your questions - day or even in the middle of the night! Can't remember if you have an appointment? No worries, our automatic appointment reminder system will send you a text or email at multiple intervals to keep you informed.

Big Ideas: Comprehensive Services

Above and beyond the usual patient-doctor encounter, we offer ancillary services to meet your needs. We have a certified lactation consultant available to meet with you and your baby. We have an onsite high complexity laboratory with phlebotomists who are trained in drawing blood in children of all ages and offer onsite testing and results. Common onsite testing include those for strep throat, flu, mono, urine screens, bilirubin (for jaundice), and cell blood counts for anemia and infection, amongst others. In addition, we can perform more detailed allergy testing, asthma tests, concussion testing (baseline and after an injury), hearing and vision assessments even in young infants in the clinic. We can dispense many medications on site for home use. We provide electronic prescriptions and refills to your desired pharmacy and enable you to access your child's medical records on your phone. We also have parenting classes to help you deal with your newborn baby, picky eating, discipline, your anxious child, learn CPR and other topics. Not satisfied with the status quo, we promise to continue to enhance our services to meet your needs.
