Your Child's Medical Home

Dear Hendersonville Pediatrics Families,

Hendersonville Pediatrics is honored to care for your children. We are dedicated to guiding them, supporting you, and providing excellent care here at what we refer to as your child's medical home. We would like to take this opportunity to discuss access to quality, pediatric specific care.

We are familiar with your child, their history and specific needs. Our pediatricians are “board-certified”, meaning they’ve passed rigorous exams given by the American Board of Pediatrics. Our advanced pediatric training and experience with diagnosing and treating childhood diseases provides a safe environment for your infants, school-aged children and adolescents. This sets us apart from urgent cares clinics. Despite the convenience of urgent care and school-based clinics, well checkups and sports physicals are best performed by your child’s doctor. We not only know your child well, but we are able to treat your whole child focusing on their emotional health in addition to their physical health. Our medical assistants are also pediatric trained, which creates a more nurturing environment.

Hendersonville Pediatrics is open 364 days a year. We have weekend hours and evening hours during most months because we know children experience sickness at unpredictable times. Being readily available and connected among physicians allows for a continuity of care, which is important when caring for children. We can access your child's complete medical history, growth charts and vitals and can spot any concerning trends. Urgent care and retail clinics do not have the same access.

The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend urgent care clinics without providers that have expertise caring for children, specifically for children under the age of two. There are certain circumstances when we might advise you to bring your child of any age to an emergency room or urgent care based on time sensitive conditions or when a higher level of care is necessary, but please contact us first so that we can help you make the safest decision for your child.

Lastly, the doctors and staff at Hendersonville Pediatrics thank you for your support since Hurricane Helene. We recognize that following the flood and subsequent destruction of our Hendersonville office, there have been times when it may have been difficult to get an appointment. We have worked hard to create temporary office spaces to ensure the availability of six physicians each weekday with same day sick appointments most days. We thank you for your patience.

It is our pleasure to continue to be here for you, our families, as we have been for 73 years. We will continue to provide quality, compassionate, pediatric specific care for your children.

Sincerely, 

Hendersonville Pediatrics’ Physicians
