Premier Pediatrics is a Level 2 Accredited Patient Centered Medical Home. Here is some information about what a Medical Home is and what it means for you!

Goal of PCMH

At Premier Pediatrics we strive to provide the highest level of care for your family. We strive to improve outcomes for your child, as well as reduce the overall cost you incur for your healthcare.  Focusing on each patient with the utmost importance is pivotal to the success we all experience in this way of providing care. Each patient is followed with the “whole person” orientation in mind to be sure we effectively provide care across every setting the patient ends up in.  Constant communication between our office and any other office will improve the continuity of care that you deserve. We want the highest quality and safest environment for the patient. That is why our staff takes the extra time to make your experience the best it can be and all your needs are addressed.
