Meet Our Pediatric Providers

Our team of medical specialists-including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, psychiatrists, behavioral health therapists, substance abuse counselors, clinical pharmacists, and nutritionists-want to help you make life choices that will lead to your improved health. We offer a full range of services to meet all your healthcare needs.

Well-Child Visits

Most of us think about visiting the doctor only when we are sick. But regular well-child check-ups are important in healthy children for preventing illness and ensuring your child is meeting all the appropriate developmental milestones. This is also a good time for you to bring up any questions or concerns about your child's health. We focus on the following areas in well-child visits:

Immunizations

We off immunizations for ages 0-17 including required vaccines for kindergarten and 6th grade including TDAP, HPV, and MCV meningitis vaccines. Immunizations, or vaccinations, are an important part of well-child visits. Babies are born with temporary protection against some diseases through their mother's antibodies. But because the protection is temporary, immunization is a way to provide immunity to certain diseases, ensuring your child stays healthy so he/she can focus on growing up and having fun.

Visit the CDC's website for their 2020 recommended vaccination schedule.

COVID-19 Pfizer Vaccines available for Youth ages 12 - 17

Sick-Child Visits

Having a sick child can be a stressful, scary time. We are here to put your mind at ease.

Same-day sick appointments

We make every effort to schedule same-day appointments for sick children. Please call our office as early as possible so that we can accommodate your needs and schedule you with your preferred doctor.

When does my child need to see a doctor?

We understand that as a parent you worry when your child is sick, especially if he/she has a fever. You may be wondering when your child needs to see a doctor. While every situation is different, these general guidelines below may help you decide when to seek medical care for a fever. Of course, don't hesitate to give us a call if you still aren't sure or if you have any other concerns.

For low-grade fevers between 100.3 and 103.9 degrees-you should always call us immediately if your infant under the age of three months has a fever above 100.3 degrees. For babies between three months and two years of age, call us if the low-grade fever is causing irritability, prevents them from eating, or lasts longer than 24 hours.

For older children, keep an eye on low-grade fevers and call if it lasts more than three days. Be sure to monitor their temperature every few hours and give them fever-reducing medication. If you are unsure about which medication, or the appropriate dose your child should receive, ask your physician. If it is after-hours, go to your nearest urgent care.

For fevers of 104 degrees or higher-go to the emergency room immediately so your child can receive prompt treatment to lower the fever. Fevers this high can have serious and sometimes long-term side effects.

Our Philosophy

After nearly three decades, our passion and values have not changed. We strongly believe that healthcare isn't a privilege; it is a human right. Everyone must have the opportunity to achieve optimal health, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, orientation, or ability to pay. We've made it our job to help individuals and the community lower the barrier that inhibits wellness. As we continue to grow, our focus remains on bringing people together through greater access to care, better facilities, comprehensive services, and compassionate healthcare. The diversity of our community is what makes us strong.

Child Action provides subsidized child care and financial assistance to eligible families in the Sacramento County. Many daycare centers and child care centers in Sacramento have a wait list, however Child Action avoids the wait list by funding the child care on behalf of the organization. Families are then able to set up a payment plan (if needed) with Child Action themselves. Child Actions helps families apply for the "Childcare Eligibility List" which allows multiple different subsidized agencies to obtain the family's information to provide the quickest financial assistance with child care costs. They also provide free workshops for families and children to attend, some of which are virtual currently due to COVID-19. A calendar of monthly workshops with locations can be found at the published site.

Mission Statement

Central Downtown Food Basket (CDFB), a 501 (c)(3) organization, reliably provides healthy and fresh groceries with Dignity and Respect to the food insecure at mobile sites throughout Sacramento. We do this by being hands on with our distribution. Some just want a hug or shake your hand, others need someone to listen. Our volunteers pay attention to those needs while giving them the food they require. We also display our produce in a unique manner, creating a farmers market environment. We take the produce out, and display it in a style that's pleasing to the eye. We do not hand out anything we would not eat ourselves. All of this is accomplished at St. John's Lutheran Church, located at 1701 L Street, and four other mobile sites. Through their generosity they have allowed us to use their facilities to help us in our distribution of food to the seniors, low income and homeless of Sacramento. " *
