Lactation Services

Deciding to breastfeed is one of the most important decisions a mother-to-be can make to give her newborn the best possible start in life. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding as “the sole source of nutrition for infants for about the first six months; breastfeeding in combination with solid foods through at least twelve months; and continued breastfeeding thereafter for as long as mutually desired by mother and baby”.

Medical Laboratory

We have full functioning medical laboratories with certified medical laboratory technicians experienced in working with pediatric patients.
With state-of-the-art equipment, our medical laboratory technicians are able to perform all routine and many specialized testing in the office for same day results.

Our laboratories are in full operation Monday through Friday.
