Services
A pediatrician is a medical doctor who specializes in the care of children. Pediatricians have undergone special training in the health and illnesses of infants, teens and young adults. In fact, we strongly encourage parents-to-be to visit our office for a prenatal appointment. This is a great way to get aquainted with our office and our doctors.
We accept a wide variety of insurance plans and as a courtesy we will bill your primary insurance for reimbursement. You are responsible to make any co-pays at the time of service and will be responsible for any deductibles or co-insurances. Our office does not bill secondary insurances. While we are able to answer some questions about insurance, it is in your best interests to call your carrier ahead of time and discuss your coverage and benefits.
As a courtesy, our office has an automatic appointment reminder system that will confirm your appointment two days prior to your appointment. You can receive your appointment reminder on your home phone, cell phone, by email or by text message! Please call our office and let us know how you wish to be contacted.
For after-hours calls, our office utilizes a phone triage service staffed by qualified pediatric RNs. Call our main office number and you will be prompted to acces the after-hours service. There is a $36.00 fee for this service that cannot be billed to insurance. If it is not an emergency or you feel you do not need to speak with a clinician, you can utilize the "Is Your Child Sick?" symptom checker, which is on the left side of each page on our website.This will help you determine which course of action you should take.

Dr Patterson has been with us from the very beginning when my daughter was in NICU. He visited twice to keep tabs on us, her condition, and make sure all our questions were being answered. He even went above and beyond and did research about a condition she had while she was in NICU to help allay our fears. He has continued to provide exemplary care through my daughter's 18 months of life and I cannot thank PTP & their staff enough for always being there when we need them.

Everyone at this office is amazing. The front office staff is incredibly friendly, the nurses are great with my kids, and Dr. Patterson is the best pediatrician we have ever seen. My daughter has bad anxiety when it comes to going to the doctor, and Dr. Patterson is great at putting her at ease. He talks her through each step so she always knows what to expect. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for my children's healthcare.

Wonderful office. Great staff. Dr, Patterson is amazing. I am so glad I found this office because they are super friendly and we have had nothing but great experiences with them. They always anser the phone. If I have a non emergency question I can leave a voicemail and get an answer before the end of the day. If my baby is sick they fit you in asap. More than happy to be their client.
