Children Playing In Field With Bubbles

At the Children’s Wellness & Developmental Center we strongly believe looking at the underlying medical issues and getting to the root cause, is the best approach rather than medicating the symptoms. This will lead to overall well-being and lasting health. We pride ourselves in taking the time to listen to all your needs and treat the whole person, not just a diagnosis. Our experienced providers will walk this journey with you and your family by guiding and educating you to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

We are an Integrative Pediatric Medical Practice and utilize Traditional Medicine/Medication, Holistic Treatments, Biomedical Treatments, Complementary and Alternative Treatments, Dietary Interventions and Nutritional Supplements.

Medication management: If your child is on medication and it is not working for them, we will work closely with you to determine what the right course of treatment will be. By addressing the underlying causes of their behaviors and getting to the root cause, we will manage the medication and make changes as needed.
