We love Children!
All our physicians are board-certified pediatricians. We will walk with you every step of the way in taking care of your child’s healthcare needs. From critical newborn care to the sensitive teenage years, Roxboro MedPeds will provide you with up-to-date research information.
Roxboro MedPeds believes strongly in the importance and safety of immunizations. If you have any concerns or questions regarding immunizations, we encourage you to discuss these with any of our providers. Roxboro MedPeds keeps track of all immunizations through the North Carolina Immunization Registry, and we can get you a copy of your child’s immunization records quickly.
Our pediatricians are deeply concerned with many of the medical concerns facing children today – from those frustrating ear infections to more complicated issues like asthma, Attention Deficit Disorders, weight issues and depression. Feel free to discuss any of these or other health issues your child may be facing.
