What does F.A.A.P mean?
All of our doctors are pediatricians, which means
that each has spent at least three years in pediatric specialty
training (residency) after medical school. Pediatricians specialize in
the care of patients from birth until young adulthood. The
"F.A.A.P." after each doctor's name means that he or she is a Fellow
of the
American Academy of Pediatrics and has also
passed specialty-certifying examinations by the American Board of
Pediatrics (i.e., Board Certified).
Do I
pick one doctor?
Most families pick one doctor as their primary
pediatrician. It is a good idea for children for for check-ups and for
sick visits whenever possible. However, if your child needs to be seen
when the doctor you usually see is out of the office or otherwise
unavailable, one of the other doctors will be happy to see your child.
Our doctors are generally off one day per week. At night and on
weekends, our doctors rotate office schedules, so most families
eventually meet all of our doctors.
Hospital Rounds?
Our board-certified doctors will see newborn babies
delivered at Williamson Medical Center, Vanderbilt Children's Hospital
and Baptist Hospital every morning.
Infants and children with an illness requiring
hospitalization are admitted to
Vanderbilt Children's
Hospital, the only full-service children's health facility in
middle Tennessee.
Our doctors are on the clinical faculty at
Vanderbilt University Medical School and often participate in the
training of pediatric residents and medical students in our
office.
