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.
