Services

Well Child Visits

Families in Ringgold and surrounding areas trust Peds Care for consistent, high-quality preventive care for their children. Our well child visits follow the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule, from newborns to teens. At each visit, our pediatricians assess growth, provide essential age-appropriate immunizations, conduct comprehensive screenings, and address any questions or concerns. Preventive care is a valuable investment in your child's health, and we help  families stay on schedule for optimal wellness.

Sick Child Visits

At PedsCare, we are advocates for childhood vaccination. Keeping the children of Ringgold and the surrounding communities protected from preventable diseases is a responsibility we take seriously. We adhere to the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and welcome conversations with parents about vaccines, their safety, and their importance. Every child in our practice matters to us, and ensuring they are fully protected is central to the care we provide.

Other Pediatric Services

Beyond routine checkups and sick care, Peds Care offers a wide range of additional pediatric services to meet the varied needs of families. Our on-site testing and lab services — including strep tests, flu tests, vision and hearing screenings, lead testing, and more — mean that answers are often available the same day as your child's appointment. We also perform sports physicals, behavioral health screenings,  developmental assessments,  and chronic care management giving families a true pediatric medical home.

Our Pediatricians

Great pediatric care is about more than checkups — it's about having a team that knows your child, listens to your concerns, and gives you straight answers. That's exactly what families find at Peds Care. We're currently welcoming new patients and would love the chance to show you what makes our practice different. Come in for a meet-and-greet and see for yourself.
